On Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge Beryl A. Howell entered a default judgment against the former New York mayor. A defendant can be ruled in default if they don't answer a complaint against them or fail to attend hearings.
The order states that a "default judgment will be entered against defendant Rudolph W. Giuliani on his liability for plaintiffs' defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, civil conspiracy, and punitive damage claims, pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure."
The judge ordered both sides to agree on a future trial date for damages. Giuliani was also ordered to pay attorney fees for the plaintiffs.
"As a sanction for defendant's failure to timely to reimburse plaintiffs' $89,172.50 in attorneys' fees by July 25, 2023, the jury will be instructed that they must, when determining an appropriate sum of punitive damages, infer that he is intentionally trying to hide relevant discovery about his financial assets for the purpose of artificially deflating his net worth," Howell concluded.
How is Rudy paying for his lawyer in Georgia? I suspect he couldn’t afford his lawyers in this civil suit any longer.Just make your checks out to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. https://t.co/gKUobKX4Ce pic.twitter.com/9JjqCh9m82

"Strategic ‘admission arguendo’!” 😹😹😹This “strategic” move from Rudy led to a judgment against him today. He’s a real genius. And a congenital liar. But the idiots who watch these shows continue to believe his bullshit. https://t.co/9r6XKFpurN
