Judge threatens Rudy Giuliani with 'imprisonment' for repeating 2020 election lies

Summary

U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell warned Rudy Giuliani he could face imprisonment for allegedly continuing to defame Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, despite a $148 million defamation judgment and a permanent injunction against him.

Giuliani sought a 30-day extension to respond, citing difficulty finding legal representation, but Howell expressed skepticism over further delays.

Freeman and Moss accused Giuliani of violating the court order, with their lawyer previously suggesting potential prison time for related “bankruptcy crimes.”

Giuliani claims bias against him in the case.
