Rudy Giuliani threatened with 'severe' sanctions for failing to produce evidence in court

Rudy Giuliani has reportedly been threatened by a judge with "severe" sanctions if he continues to fail to produce necessary evidence in a defamation case brought against him.

The news comes from Politico's senior legal affairs reporter, Kyle Cheney, who posted the news on Thursday.

"JUST IN: Judge Howell threatens Rudy Giuliani with contempt of court and other 'severe' sanctions for failing to provide adequate discovery to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss in their defamation suit— despite repeated court orders," Cheney wrote.

The image Cheney included in the announcement was a court order that "cautioned" Giuliani on what would happen if there was further failure to comply with a prior order to search and produce necessary records.

"She’s also ordering Rudy to pay about $90,000 in their attorney’s fees for recent motion," Cheney added.

Giuliani was sued in 2021 by two election workers in Georgia who said the former Trump lawyer lied about them rigging the 2020 election for President Joe Biden.
