Rudy Giuliani has to give up a New York apartment to two election workers

Rudy Giuliani, the disgraced former mayor of New York and lawyer for Donald Trump, was ordered by a court to hand over his Manhattan apartment and other luxury items to two election workers he defamed after the 2020 US presidential election.

The ruling by a federal judge in New York also requires Giuliani to give workers his watch collection and a Mercedes that once belonged to Hollywood actress Lauren Bacall.

In December last year, Giuliani was ordered to pay $148 million in damages to the two women, a mother and daughter, for defamation. They have been trying to raise the money ever since.

Giuliani baselessly alleged that the workers committed election fraud while counting ballots in Fulton County, Georgia, on Election Day 2020.

The two women were targeted by angry Trump supporters after being featured in a video circulating online.

According to the ruling, Giuliani must deliver the apartment within a week. The women then have the right to sell it, their lawyer Aaron Nathan told CNN.

The apartment, with a wood-paneled library, is located on New York’s Upper East Side, near Central Park. Giuliani initially put it up for sale in 2023 for $6.5 million and later lowered the price to just over $5 million.

On Tuesday, the judge initially left open whether Giuliani would be allowed to keep his Florida property, which he listed as his residence.
