Judge Slaps ‘Outrageous And Shameful’ Giuliani With Contempt Charges
Memo to Rudy Giuliani: When you’re in a nearly $150 million defamation hole, and in danger of losing your home, you really ought to stop digging. Apparently, the geriatric Giuliani just can’t help himself.
District Judge Beryl Howell’s ruling Friday came as Giuliani continues to make false insinuations about two Georgia election workers, long after they won a $150 million defamation verdict against him and he agreed to stop slandering them.
“Mr Giuliani engaged in the worst kind of defamation,” Howell said as she read her verdict, slamming him for continuing to portray himself as a victim in this case and not responding to previous court orders.
“It is outrageous and shameful,” Howell said. “This takes real chutzpah, Mr Giuliani.”

In addition to finding Giuliani in contempt, Howell ordered that within 10 days - Trump’s Inauguration Day – he must swear in a statement sent to the court that he’s reviewed and acknowledges several records showing that there was no fraud in the 2020 election. If he doesn’t do that, he’ll be fined $200 a day.
