Former President Donald Trump ally Rudy Giuliani has already been made to turn over his Manhattan penthouse to pay the election workers he defamed in Georgia — and now, he may have to surrender his $3.5 million condo in Palm Beach, Florida, too, CNN reported.
This is of particular concern for him because it is one of his few remaining properties — and the one in which he is currently living.
According to the report, Giuliani "plans to stay in the Palm Beach condo now but will be blocked from doing anything that could diminish its value while the judge sorts out whether his creditors can seize it, Judge Lewis Liman said at a court hearing Monday."
Giuliani, a former federal prosecutor and mayor of New York City who is close to Trump and helped him litigate ill-fated election fraud cases based on conspiracy theories, is currently on the hook for paying a $150 million default judgment to election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who sued after he turned their lives upside down by baselessly claiming they stuffed the ballot box while counting votes in Atlanta in 2020.

Following this decision, Giuliani — who has been drowning in financial difficulties for years — sought bankruptcy protection to stymie attempts to collect on the judgment, but a federal judge terminated the bankruptcy proceedings after it became clear Giuliani was not handing over all the required financial information.
Earlier this month, a judge gave the go-ahead to start seizing Giuliani's properties to pay off his creditors, primarily Freeman and Moss.
All of this has occurred as Giuliani's daughter Caroline has publicly broken with her father, lamenting that he has lost touch with reality. The younger Giuliani has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign for the presidency.
