A federal judge has held former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani in contempt for failing to comply with orders in the ongoing defamation battle brought by two Georgia election workers.

Southern District of New York Judge Lewis Liman said Giuliani, a former adviser to then-President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign, had “willfully violated a clear and unambiguous order of this court.”
