A federal judge on Friday found Rudy Giuliani in contempt of court for continuing to spread false claims about two former Georgia election workers.

NEW YORK (AP) — Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is set to be the first witness at a trial over whether he can keep his Florida condominium and three World Series rings or must turn them over to satisfy a $148 million defamation judgment awarded to two Georgia election workers.

The former mayor never showed up to his anticipated bench trial on Thursday, instead posting a video of his dog to X before settling the case altogether.

Rudy Giuliani and two Georgia election workers reached a settlement in a $148 million defamation case judgment against him.

Rudy Giuliani is not letting his legal woes ruin his inauguration excitement. Despite being scheduled to testify in a New York courtroom, the disgraced lawyer was absent from the proceedings Thursday and instead shared a video of his Pomeranian frolicking at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

The deal was announced after Giuliani was a no-show at the trial to determine the fate of his World Series rings and Florida home.

Rudy Giuliani has settled with Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss over issues related to the surrender of his assets to satisfy a nearly $150 million defamation judgment against him.

Rudy Giuliani has reportedly reached a "global settlement" in his fight with two women he defamed with election interference claims Legal analyst Andrew Torrez, a lawyer and podcast host, posted a screenshot of a letter Thursday to Judge Lewis Liman stating that Giuliani had reached the "global settlement" with Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.

The former mayor will be the first witness in the case without a jury, as Giuliani fights to keep his Florida apartment.

A trial will determine whether Giuliani must turn over three World Series rings and his Florida condo to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.

U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman said he wouldn't reconsider his decision to keep the clergyman off the witness list in Giuliani's bench trial, set to begin Thursday, over satisfying a judgment owed to two Georgia poll workers he defamed.

Rudy Giuliani was dealt another setback Tuesday ahead of his looming trial over whether he needs to turn over his Florida condo and World Series rings to the Georgia election workers he defamed when the judge refused to allow two last-minute witnesses to testify.
