Giuliani Has to Give His Yankees Memorabilia to Election Workers He Defamed

Rudy Giuliani recently lost a civil lawsuit, and will now be forced to turn over his most valuable assets in order to pay off his debts. 

According to court documents unsealed on Tuesday, Giuliani has been ordered to turn over some of his most valuable possessions — including property jewelry, and even sports memorabilia — to the two Georgia election workers who won a $150 million defamation lawsuit against the Trump ally late last year. 

Included in the list of items to be turned over to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss is a trove of valuable sports memorabilia, much of which was accumulated during Giuliani’s long prosecutorial and mayoral career in New York City. 

Among these items are a shirt signed by legendary baseball player Joe DiMaggio, a signed photo of Yankee Stadium, and a signed photo of Reggie Jackson. The filing also mentions three World Series rings that may be transferred to Freeman and Moss pending a challenge of ownership by Giuliani’s son. 

Authorities are also requesting the seizure of the former mayor’s penthouse apartment, a 1980 Mercedes that once belonged to old Hollywood film star Lauren Bacall, and an extensive collection of luxury watches featuring designs by Rolex, Tiffany & Co., Bulova, Raymond Weil, IWC, and Breitling. 

In December of last year, Giuliani was ordered to pay $150 million to Freeman and Moss after being found liable for defaming the mother and daughter by accusing them of manipulating the 2020 presidential vote in Georgia. The two women were subjected to a torrent of threats and harassment after Giuliani accused them of lying about a water main breaking in Atlanta’s State Farm Arena so they could clear out other poll workers and doctor the results in Biden’s favor. 

The conspiracies about them made it all the way to Trump himself, who described Freeman as a “professional vote scammer” who had “stuffed the ballot boxes” during his now notorious phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

Moss testified before the House Jan. 6 committee in 2022 about how she and her mother’s lives were ravaged by the false allegations, which forced them to move. “It has turned my life upside down,” Moss testified. “I don’t want anyone knowing my name […] I just don’t do nothing anymore, I don’t want to go anywhere. I second guess everything that I do. It’s affected my life in a major way, in every way. All because of lies.” 

Giuliani’s election conspiracies have cost him more than just money. In September, the former attorney was permanently disbarred in Washington, D.C., after a D.C. appeals court ruled a few months earlier that Giuliani had “forfeited his right to practice law” and “should be disbarred” over his attempts to file frivolous lawsuits attempting to challenge election laws without basis in Pennsylvania.

The 2020 election will continue to haunt Giuliani, who is facing multiple civil and criminal cases and owes a boatload of money to his attorneys. The Trump sycophant has been indicted in two criminal cases related to election subversion. One in Arizona and one in Georgia — where he is a co-defendant to the former president. 

Giuliani continues to spew conspiracies about 2020 and support the former president as he lays the groundwork to challenge the results of November’s vote. If the former mayor was planning to host a watch party, he might have to find an alternate venue, as the victims of his falsehoods will not only be awarded his penthouse, but also his fancy TV.
