Judge threatens Giuliani with contempt for failing to follow order

The Manila Times

Judge threatens Giuliani with contempt for failing to follow order  A federal judge on Nov. 7, 2024 (local time) threatens to hold former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani in civil contempt for failing to surrender his luxury apartment and other belongings to two Georgia election workers he defamed and owes $148 million. US District Judge Lewis Liman in Manhattan had on Oct. 22 ordered Giuliani, formerly a US Attorney and personal lawyer to President-elect Donald Trump, to hand over the property to Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea "Shaye" Moss within seven days. The property would partially satisfy a judgment that a Washington, D.C., jury in December 2023 awarded Freeman and Moss, who accused Giuliani of destroying their reputations through lies that they tried to help steal the 2020 US presidential election from Trump.

00:00I'm gonna turn over

00:02What I'm supposed to turn over when they figure out what that is

00:06this is this is not a

00:09There's never been a trial. I never had a trial this whole I owe

00:14145 million dollars for the never having a trial on liability or damages

00:20And I have a doctor tape recordings that they

00:25In Georgia doctor

00:27That would prove that everything I said was absolutely true and correct

00:31This is a persecution of a lawyer for representing his client

00:37The lawyer who brought this case

00:40Didn't disclose the fact that he was Hunter Biden's client Hunter Hunter blind Biden's law partner

00:46And he also was a lawyer for Burisma

00:49You may not know Burisma, but if you buy my book you'll read all about

00:52Burisma is a corrupt company

00:55in Ukraine

00:57that paid

00:59At least eight million dollars in bribes to Hunter Biden and to then vice president of the United States

01:05For which I gathered the proof

01:09The only one who gathered it and then I was the one who delivered the hard drive

01:14to the New York Post I

01:16Don't take any credit away from the New York Post

01:19But occasionally when they take credit for their great work, they should say that I found it for them

01:25I gave it to them and I somewhat leaned on them to go with it

01:30So I've been the source of all the Joe Biden's troubles going back to

01:352017

01:36When I first started to receive threats

01:38I was surveilled by the FBI and went and took my iCloud account

01:44Didn't tell me the day I began representing Donald Trump

01:48In order to spy on attorney-client

01:53Communications a

01:56Couple years later. They raided my apartment and

01:59My law office and many of you wrote where there's smoke there's fire. Oh, he must be guilty. The FBI wouldn't do that

02:06Except a year and a half to two years later

02:10The US Attorney was required by my lawyer Bob Costello

02:14To write a letter to the grand jury saying that their investigation had uncovered

02:18No evidence of any kind of probable cause to mr. Giuliani committed any crime

02:24That's after a 20-year went back 20 years in my business

02:28if they didn't have probable cause then

02:31How do they have probable cause to raid me?

02:35And how do they have probable cause to go take my iCloud account?

02:39when I

02:41Began representing Trump and how the hell do they legally raid my law office when I had other clients

02:48This case comes out of that

02:51Group, it's brought by an activist group

02:54The chief lawyer was Hunter Biden's law partner

02:57The chief lawyer was a lawyer for the law firm that represented the single most corrupt

03:03company

03:04in Ukraine, that's the source of the eight million dollar bribe at least

03:09And there may be more in an offshore bank account

03:13Which would be available to the FBI if they?

03:17Questioned witnesses who were made available to them four years ago, and they never went to question and finally

03:26The lawyer who brought this case

03:28Represents the company that's responsible for a 50 million dollar bribe to the president of Ukraine

03:36Poroshenko who's the one who dropped the case

03:38To let out Hunter Biden, but most importantly

03:42Mr. Zlochevsky

03:44Who is probably one of the richest?

03:47oligarchs and

03:50organized criminals in Ukraine who by the way is pro-russian, so

03:56I have no doubt when this case was brought it was financed

04:00Not by these two women, but by the Bidens and it was financed to do with the

04:05Did to me

04:07very articulate

04:10Very very big fight cat vocabulary obviously could be the New York Public Schools have deteriorated

04:15but the reality is

04:18that this case is

04:20Obviously a political vendetta

04:24It's just a mere fact that it's a hundred and forty five million dollar judgment

04:28I'm very very disappointed that this judge doesn't take seriously how ridiculous

04:35The judgment is I never got a trial

04:41Originally I was found

04:43liable because I didn't comply with discovery and

04:46Then when we had our damages trial the judge told me that if I testified to what I had been saying she hold me in

04:53Contempt now the judge who did that was judge Beryl Howell

04:57Who was the chief judge in?

05:00DC

05:01Who was the most bloodthirsty?

05:03January 6 judge she called the other judges together

05:07Along the way and told them they weren't giving enough time to the January 6 defendants and all throughout the trial

05:14she

05:16Just about allowed me to put on no witnesses

05:18So I am pretty sure you're never absolutely sure this case can get reversed

05:24This judge could wait

05:26Until this case was affirmed

05:28by the DC Circuit

05:30Most judges would rather than just take all of a man's property away, but they are taking it away

05:39Yeah, I have it all

05:43Well, I will tell them where it is and they can have it I mean a couple of things that I think it's outrageous

05:50No, no, no, I have to tell them where it is and they can come and get it

05:55Well, we'll figure that out I certainly don't have to deliver it from, Florida, so my car

06:03It seems like there was a real heated moment early on where the judge said you need to list more people explaining where your financial

06:10Assets were you said I don't want to do that. No, no, no. No. No, I didn't what's going

06:14I didn't say about my financial assets where my problem with the question was who put together

06:20The distribution of the property and he wanted me to give the names of those people in the past in the four years of this

06:27completely political

06:30Vindictive case orchestrated by the Bidens every name I've given has been tortured. They've been served at ridiculous hours

06:37They've been threats of contempt

06:40the orders

06:42Instead of making a request. It's like one page or two. They were getting requests like this

06:46I I was hoping the judge would be sensitive to the fact that this is not an ordinary case

06:54This is a case for political persecution just a mere fact of the hundred and forty five million dollar judgment tells the whole world that

07:01There isn't a person that doesn't know that the judgment is ridiculous. These women didn't have a hundred and forty five million dollars worth of damage

07:08even if you believe

07:11That I wasn't telling the truth

07:13They didn't have a hundred and forty five million dollars worth of damage that was a punitive

07:18Award from the the District of Columbia voted for I think 92%

07:26For against Donald Trump, there's

07:30100 January 6 defendants went to trial. Nobody's been acquitted. I don't know of any set of cases where nobody ever gets acquitted

07:37My lawyer told me no chance of a fair trial in the District Club

07:42No chance just impossible, of course, that's not America, but hopefully that's gonna change

07:55You
