“Rudy Giuliani surrendered a Mercedes-Benz, watches and a ring on Friday to two Georgia election workers who successfully sued him for defamation — while still refusing to turn over other property to comply with a $148 million judgment against him. The initial delivery comes as Giuliani is embroiled in a dispute over his legal representation and is trying to keep some items of his personal property. … An attorney for Giuliani, Joseph Cammarata, told U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman that the former New York City mayor hadn’t given items in a storage facility to [the plaintiffs] because a court-imposed restraining order prevented him from doing so. And, Cammarata wrote, certain categories of items the judge ordered Giuliani to turn over to the women are exempt by statute. Cammarata, for example, told the judge that ‘all wearing apparel’ is exempt by law from turnover, which should make a Joe DiMaggio jersey off-limits.” (11/15/24)
