Rudy Giuliani's bankruptcy case is moving forward with a meeting of creditors set for next month.
In a notice on Wednesday, the court made Giuliani's bankruptcy case official.
"The filing of the case imposed an automatic stay against most collection activities. This means that creditors generally may not take action to collect debts from the debtors or the debtors' property. For example, while the stay is in effect, creditors cannot sue, garnish wages, assert a deficiency, repossess property, or otherwise try to collect from the debtors. Creditors cannot demand repayment from debtors by mail, phone, or otherwise," the notices stated.
A meeting of creditors was set for Feb. 7, 2024. Giuliani was also ordered to attend and testify under oath.

"Debtors must attend the meeting to be questioned under oath," the notice explained. "Debtor should bring this notice to the first meeting of creditors, together with any other documents requested by the U.S. trustee."
Giuliani filed for bankruptcy after he was ordered to pay two former Georgia election workers $148 million. According to filings, he could owe as much as $500 million.
