Rudy Giuliani Says He 'Can't Buy Food' After Defamation Case

NEW YORK CITY — Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani in a social media post said he could not afford food after all of his finances were seized after a federal judge ordered him to pay two Georgia election workers $148 million in a defamation case.

Late last month, Judge Lewis Liman ordered Giuliani to turn over his luxury Manhattan apartment, among other valuable possessions, to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, Patch previously reported.

Giuliani tweeted on Tuesday that Liman "doesn't seem to know the exemptions."

"They have seized all my money, which wasn't much. I need legal representation against these evil people. I can't buy food," he added.

The former mayor accused the workers of fraud in the 2020 presidential election. The two women sued Giuliani twice, as they maintained he harassed them and spread "false speech."

As of Wednesday afternoon, supporters of Giuliani have donated more than $120,000 to a GiveSendGo fundraiser for his legal defense. The fundraiser has a goal of $250,000 goal.

"America's Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, has been persecuted to the highest level through lawfare due to his support of President Donald Trump," read the fundraiser.

Ongoing Legal Troubles

On Oct.30, attorneys for Freeman and Moss reported that the former mayor had already cleared out his Manhattan apartment

"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," according to a court filing from the plaintiff's attorneys obtained by Fox News.

They argued Giuliani "knowingly disregard" the court order to hand over his assets.

In addition, the former mayor was seen driving his Mercedes-Benz in Palm Beach, Florida, that was ordered to be turned over.

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, Patch previously reported.
