  • As he entered Manhattan federal court for a hearing on the dispute, former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani dismissed allegations that he is obstructing the surrender of assets to two Georgia election workers he defamed.
  • The women have been awarded $146 million in damages against Giuliani.
  • He served as President-elect Donald Trump's representative following the 2020 election in an attempt to overturn Trump's defeat to President Joe Biden.

On Thursday, Rudy Giuliani, a former lawyer for Trump, dismissed allegations that he is obstructing an order to submit assets to two Georgia election investigators he disparaged.

In Manhattan federal court, Giuliani stated that the women had lied, as he arrived for a hearing on the dispute. The lawyer for the women claimed that the property subject to forfeiture in the defamation case was absent from Giuliani's Manhattan apartment during a recent check.

"According to NBC News, the former New York City mayor stated that his apartment was filled with belongings, and all the appropriate items were present. The apartment was also quite full with things."

On Tuesday, Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea Moss, drove to a Florida polling site in a Mercedes-Benz and were subject to forfeiture.

The judge's order for Giuliani to appear in court in person on Thursday infuriated him, claiming it was a form of political persecution.

In Washington, D.C., Giuliani was held liable in federal court for falsely accusing two women of committing ballot fraud during the 2020 presidential election. He was ordered to pay them $146 million in damages.

Did Giuliani say "yes" when asked on Thursday if Trump had called him since the most recent presidential election?

Giuliani responded, "I won't disclose what Trump said."
