A federal judge in Washington, D.C., has ordered Rudy Giuliani to appear for an in-person hearing next month after the two Georgia election workers he defamed requested he be held in contempt of court for allegedly repeating the lies about the 2020 election that resulted in a $148 million judgment against the former New York City mayor.
The motion for civil contempt was filed Wednesday morning after Giuliani made several pleas last week for public donations, saying he couldnt afford to feed himself as a result of debt he owes to Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea ArShaye Shaye Moss. On Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge Beryl A. Howell ordered Giuliani to respond to the plaintiffs filing by Dec. 2 and appear for an in-person hearing to address the matter on Dec. 12.
According to Freeman and Moss, Giulianis defamatory campaign against them continued even after they were awarded the astronomical judgment and Giuliani was forced to declare bankruptcy. To curb Giulianis behavior and prevent additional legal action, he eventually consented to a permanent injunction prohibiting him from making any additional claims or statements indicating that the plaintiffs had engaged in wrong-doing in connection with the 2020 presidential election.
But the former U.S. Attorney in Manhattan has been brazenly violating that consent injunction, plaintiffs attorneys say.

So unless a judge jails them for contempt they will keep doing it.
