CNN — Rudy Giuliani must appear in person in federal court on Thursday after two election workers who are to receive nearly all of his most valuable assets told a judge they believe the former Donald Trump attorney is hiding items from them.

The complaint from the election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss – whom Giuliani owes nearly $150 million for defaming them after the 2020 election – comes after lawyers for the mother and daughter visited Giuliani’s $6 million Manhattan apartment and discovered much of the furniture and valuable sports memorabilia was recently removed.

“Save for some rugs, a dining room table, some stray pieces of small furniture and inexpensive wall art, and a handful of smaller items like dishes and stereo equipment, the Apartment has been emptied of all of its contents,” Freeman and Moss’ attorney Aaron Nathan wrote in a letter to the judge in the case. They are also trying to take possession, at the court’s direction, of Giuliani’s 26 luxury watches and a 1980 Mercedes-Benz he kept in Florida. But those also haven’t been handed over, court filings this week say.

Nathan said Giuliani and his lawyers’ approach to the bankruptcy proceedings is one of “evasion and silence.” Freeman and Moss’ lawyers had gone to the apartment last week to figure out how best to move the luxury items inside that should now be theirs, per the judge’s order, into storage. But the apartment was “substantially empty,” Nathan wrote.
