A federal judge will hear arguments in Rudy Giuliani's second contempt of court hearing this week in a defamation case involving former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss. Giuliani faces potential financial penalties for continuing to defame Freeman and Moss on his streaming show despite a court-ordered agreement. The former New York City mayor claims his comments were not defamatory and asserts his First Amendment right to discuss the case. Giuliani was found liable for defaming Freeman and Moss in 2023 and was ordered to pay $146 million in damages, which he is appealing. In a separate case, Giuliani was found in contempt of court in New York for failing to comply with orders to disclose information about his assets to Freeman and Moss.
