Summary

A federal judge in D.C. held Rudy Giuliani in contempt for defying a court order barring him from spreading falsehoods about Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, despite a $148M defamation judgment in 2023.

Judge Beryl Howell fined Giuliani $200 daily until he acknowledges evidence disproving his claims.

Howell warned of possible imprisonment for further violations, calling Giuliani’s behavior “outrageous.”

Plaintiffs seek to stop defamation, while Giuliani claims asset freezes hinder compliance.

His representative criticized the ruling as unconstitutional and biased.
