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.
He was just ruled to be in contempt of court this Monday. He should start to tread lightly already.
What consequences has he faced?
None of note, but he can’t count on Daddy Trump to bail him out if any actually do happen.
