A federal judge has ordered Rudy Giuliani to appear in court in early January to address claims of contempt for failing to turn over assets to two Georgia election poll workers who won a libel case against him. The assets in question include a New York apartment lease, a signed Joe DiMaggio shirt, a Mercedes, various watches and jewelry, and baseball mementos.
The judge signed the order for Giuliani to appear on Jan. 3, with a trial scheduled for Jan. 16 regarding the disposition of his Florida residence and World Series rings. In a previous ruling, Giuliani was instructed to surrender many of his prized possessions to the poll workers, with his lawyers expressing confidence in winning custody of the items on appeal.
