A judge has ordered Rudy Giuliani to appear in a New York courtroom to explain why he missed a deadline to surrender his belongings — including a Mercedes that appeared to be the same car he was spotted in Tuesday — as part of a $148 million defamation judgment.
U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman issued the order late Monday after lawyers for Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss — two former Georgia election workers who were awarded the massive judgement — reported to the court that they went to Giuliani’s Manhattan apartment last week to see what assets were there, but that it had been cleared out.
Liman had set an Oct. 29 deadline for Giuliani to surrender many of his possessions to representatives for Freeman and Moss, but none of the items has been turned over yet, lawyers for the former election workers said Monday. The judge ordered Giuliani and his lawyers to appear in court on Thursday.
Those possessions include his $5 million Upper East Side apartment, a 1980 Mercedes once owned by movie star Lauren Bacall, and a variety of other belongings — from his television to a shirt signed by New York Yankees legend Joe DiMaggio to 26 luxury watches.

On Tuesday, media reports showed Giuliani in the passenger seat of what appeared to be a 1980 Mercedes, with another man driving, at a polling place in Palm Beach, Florida, where Donald Trump cast his ballot as he tried to reclaim the presidency. It could not be immediately confirmed if it was the same car he was supposed to turn over. A Giuliani spokesperson did not immediately return a text message requesting comment.
