Lawyer allowed into Giuliani's NYC apartment after he misses deadline

A moving company representative and lawyers were expected to be given access to Rudy Giuliani’s Manhattan apartment after he missed a deadline to turn over belongings to two former Georgia election workers who won a $148 million defamation lawsuit against him. Giuliani was ordered by a federal judge last week to turn over the apartment as well as sports memorabilia, luxury watches and a 1980 Mercedes. The deadline was Tuesday, but no property has exchanged hands yet. A court document says a moving company representative and lawyers for the election workers were to be let into the apartment Thursday to assess what was there and the moving costs.

What’s the plan to stop Speaker Johnson?

When you cancel your Washington Post and other billionaire-compromised media subsciptions, consider replacing them with your support for outlets still performing real journalism. Local public media, ProPublica, etc.
