UPDATE (Nov. 5, 2024, 4:55 p.m. E.T.): Lawyers for Freeman and Moss filed a letter with the court Tuesday noting reports of Giuliani appearing in the Mercedes and accusing him of “flouting his obligations under the Court’s Turnover and Receivership Order.”

Freeman and Moss then filed an action against Giuliani in New York federal court, seeking to have his assets turned over to them in a receivership — and late last month, federal Judge Lewis Liman ordered Giuliani to turn over most of his assets, his multi-million dollar Manhattan condominium, and even a 1980s Mercedes Benz convertible once owned by legendary actress Lauren Bacall to the women. That judge also ordered Giuliani to hand over control of those assets within seven days.

But when the women’s lawyers were given keys to Giuliani’s condo last week, they found it “substantially empty;” through further correspondence with Giuliani’s lawyers, they then learned that many of Giuliani’s valuables, which they expected to find in the apartment itself, had been transferred to storage in Long Island and that the Mercedes was already in Florida. And as the women’s lawyers represented to the judge, Giuliani still has not transferred any property to them.

.....Rudy being Rudy, he just can’t help himself. He now reportedly lives in a condo in Palm Beach, which he is trying to prevent Freeman and Moss from seizing by claiming it as his primary residence under Florida’s “homestead” law. And Tuesday morning, Giuliani was driven in to Trump’s polling station as a passenger in the Mercedes the judge ordered him to hand over to Freeman and Moss by Oct. 29.

Lawyers for Freeman and Moss declined to comment on this development. In the meantime, Giuliani’s lawyers have represented to the court that he cannot be in New York Thursday because he is contractually committed to a radio broadcast, his equipment is in Florida, and his radio work is his sole source of “earned income.” The court denied Giuliani’s request for failing to show any “good cause,” and reiterated that he must appear personally.

Whatever the outcome of Tuesday's election, something tells me that based on what he said after the last election and how he continues to flout the law, Thursday is going to be a rough day for Giuliani.
