Rudy Giuliani , is playing hide-and-seek with” the vast majority” of belongings , he was ordered to hand over to the , Georgia , mom and daughter , he was found guilty for defaming, the children’s lawyers said in court papers Tuesday.
Around four weeks ago, Giuliani emptied his multimillion-dollar , E. 66th St.  , house, save for” some carpet, a dining room table, some stray bits of small furniture and cheap wall art, and a handful of smaller items, like food and sound equipment”, according to Wandrea” Shaye” Moss and Ruby Freeman’s legal team.
A , Manhattan , national judge , two weeks ago ordered Giuliani , to turn over control of his interest in the Upper East Side co-op room, along with its contents, his cash accounts, sports memorabilia, furniture, jewelry and several other goods to Freeman and Moss toward satisfying the$ 148 million judgment a , Washington, D. C., federal jury ordered him to pay for falsely accusing the pair of ballot fraud.
The women’s lawyers made the startling discovery on , Halloween , after trying to gain access to the unit for two hours. The beleaguered former , New York City  , mayor and , Donald Trump , lawyer and his counsel “have provided no information regarding when that property was moved, where it was taken, or the conditions under which it is being stored”, Moss and Freeman’s lawyer , Aaron Nathan , wrote.
Days after Giuliani said he’d comply with the order, inquiries by Freeman and Moss “have been met predominantly with evasion or silence”, Tuesday’s filing states. Giuliani informed them that “he does not actually know” where the apartment’s share certificates or proprietary lease are, he said items had been moved to a storage facility on , Long Island , — the aptly named” The America First Warehouse” — though without specifying which items.
Shortly after learning about the hide-and-seek game, Manhattan Federal Judge , Lewis Liman , ordered Giuliani to appear before him on Thursday, rejecting Giuliani’s request to push it back so he could record a broadcast from , Palm Beach.
In a filing later Tuesday, Nathan flagged to Liman that Giuliani had been photographed in the 1980 Mercedes-Benz once owned by , Lauren Bacall , — which Giuliani also must give up — at Trump’s poll site the morning of , Election Day. The former mayor’s lawyers had told Freeman and Moss that the vehicle was in , Florida , — though not exactly “where it is garaged”.
” This latest revelation indicates that he either does not understand ( his ) obligations or, more likely, is knowingly disregarding them”, Nathan wrote.
Giuliani’s spokesman,  , Ted Goodman, who was with him in , Palm Beach, claimed to , The New York Daily News , earlier Tuesday that Giuliani was waiting for paperwork from Moss and Freeman’s lawyers to transfer the car” and ( we ) haven’t heard back”.
” This is yet another attempt to render Mayor , Rudy Giuliani , — a man who has improved the lives of more people than almost any other living American — penniless and homeless”, Goodman said in a follow-up statement.
The women’s attorneys said in their initial Tuesday letter that Giuliani has also come up with justifications for not wiring money owed from his cash accounts. His attorneys alleged to Moss and Freeman that a restraining order on his Citibank account only permits the transfer of$ 3, 907.99.
In light of the five-figure funds that were moved out of the same account in July and August, Nathan disputed the justification and claimed it raised” significant questions about the location of other cash assets.”
Judge Liman , is still mulling whether to force Giuliani to give up his$ 3.5 million  , Palm Beach , condo,  , where Giuliani claims he’s been living, and his Yankees World Series rings, which his son, Andrew, claims Giuliani gifted to him and which Andrew is suing to keep. At a virtual hearing last week for his sexual assault lawsuit, which included the former mayor and Daily News, the former mayor appeared to be wearing at least one of the rings.
Giuliani was ordered to pay the , Atlanta , election workers the eye-popping sum in December , after a judge found him liable for repeatedly and maliciously , accusing the two women of corruptly trying to help  , Joe Biden , in the 2020 election. His lies led to a flurry of racist death threats that forced the mother and daughter to secrecy.
” America’s Mayor”  , filed for bankruptcy , in the wake of the judgment, but that filing has since been thrown out, in part, because Giuliani failed to be forthcoming about his finances and disobeyed court orders. Freeman and Moss initiated the ongoing enforcement action after the bankruptcy effort was dismissed.
Also this year, Giuliani was  , stripped of his law licenses in , New York , and , Washington, D. C.,  , because of his election subversion efforts. He is additionally facing a sky-high stack of lawsuits stemming from a wide range of allegations and two criminal cases in , Arizona , and , Georgia , regarding his election fraud claims, in which he’s pleaded not guilty.
