A judge has ruled against Giuliani’s effort to keep his witness list secret in a defamation trial set for January
Manhattan: So, Rudy Giuliani is in hot water again. There’s this trial coming up in January where he’s trying to keep his Florida condo safe from being seized by election workers. They’re after him for a whopping $150 million in damages from a defamation case.
It’s been a real mess, with tons of back and forth in court. Giuliani’s been asked to show what he’s got, and there’s been a lot of chatter about whether he’s following the rules. He even tried to keep his witness list a secret, but the judge wasn’t having it.
The trial will decide if he can claim his Palm Beach condo as his main home, which would protect it from the court orders. But the women he defamed say he’s just using it as a vacation spot, so they’re pushing back hard.
His son, Andrew, is set to testify about some World Series rings Rudy supposedly gave him. And Giuliani’s got a few other folks lined up to back him up, including a retired priest who’s been in the news for some serious stuff.
Things are heating up, especially with a contempt hearing coming up soon. The judge is ready to lay down the law if Giuliani keeps dodging his orders. This whole saga started after the 2020 election when Giuliani made some wild claims about election fraud, leading to the defamation suit.
It’s a wild ride, and it looks like Giuliani’s legal troubles are far from over. He’s got a lot on his plate, and the courtroom drama is just getting started.
