Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is "screwed" after a federal judge held that the jury in Giuliani's defamation case will be informed that he hid his assets, a former federal prosecutor said Saturday.
The judge held that Giuliani intentionally withheld documents in defiance of court orders in hopes that he could hide his money from the court. That information is especially important as the bulk of the trial is concerning what kind of damages are warranted for false claims he made against two separate poll workers.
Earlier in September, it was determined that the former N.Y. mayor will have to face a trial on defamation damages, and the attorney of the two poll workers he defamed said at the time that they are seeking more than "tens of millions of dollars."

A former federal prosecutor and legal expert, Glenn Kirschner, commented on the order on a new Justice Matters podcast episode.
"If I had to choose just one word that best describes the legal predicament in which Rudy Giuliani finds himself, I'd probably have to go with Rudy's screwed," Kirschner says.
He adds that Giuliani's "losing streak" in court hearings has still continued unabated.
Kirschner then walks the viewers through various losses and failures from the ex-mayor.
