Giuliani Misses Assets Handover Deadline, Movers Expected At NYC Crib

NEW YORK CITY — Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is reportedly not “ready” to hand over his Manhattan apartment after a federal judge ordered him to turn it over — even as movers planned to come to his apartment Thursday.

Judge Lewis Liman told Giuliani must turn over his interest in the property to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, two Georgia election workers he defamed and now owes nearly $150 million, Patch previously reported.

Attorneys for Freeman and Moss said during a call with Giuliani’s lawyer, "it became clear defendant’s counsel was not ‘ready’ to make any turnovers, according to an Independent UK report.

In addition, they alleged that Giuliani’s lawyer “could not even answer basic questions about the location of the receivership property, including the co-op shares and any particular items of physical property, or the amount of the cash accounts subject to turnover.”

Giuliani must also turn over a collection of several watches, a signed Joe DiMaggio jersey, a 1980 Mercedes once owned by the Hollywood star Lauren Bacall, his television, furniture items and jewelry, according to CNN.

Freeman and Moss, a mother and daughter who were Fulton County election workers, sued Giuliani for defamation after he falsely accused them of election fraud following the 2020 presidential election. A jury last year awarded them $148 million in damages.

Giuliani then filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but the case was thrown out in July, with the judge saying it was in the best interest of creditors, according to a WSB-TV report.

In August, Freeman and Moss filed an action to seize Giuliani's assets to begin collecting the damages he owed them, NBC News reported.
