Summary
Rudy Giuliani sought to attend a contempt hearing remotely, citing health issues and death threats, but later withdrew the request after being required to swear he couldn’t travel for 30 days, including to Trump’s inauguration.
Giuliani argued he “probably shouldn’t” travel due to medical and security risks but emphasized the inauguration’s importance.
The hearing stems from Giuliani’s alleged defamation of election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, despite prior court orders.
Giuliani faces mounting legal troubles, including contempt rulings and a $148 million defamation judgment.
FTFY
To be fair, even with zero net worth (i.e. assuming he eventually is successful in discharging his debt), he’s still wealthier than like 10% of Americans.
