Giuliani Faces Legal Heat Over Missing Assets in Defamation Case

Rudy Giuliani has denied allegations that he is withholding assets ordered to be surrendered to two Georgia election workers he defamed, claiming that the accusations are false. This comes after a lawyer for the women alleged that property was missing from Giuliani's Manhattan apartment. Giuliani, who was found liable for defamation and ordered to pay $146 million, criticized the court's order for his appearance as political persecution. The case stems from Giuliani's false claims of ballot fraud during the 2020 election.
