Rudy Giuliani went off during a routine court hearing on Tuesday. Giuliani discussed his financial difficulties as he faced the consequences of defaming two Georgia election workers, per Huff Post.
The former mayor of New York City was asked why he had not yet handed over the title to his 1980 Mercedes-Benz convertible, which could contribute to addressing the $148 million defamation judgment against him.
“I don’t have a car, I don’t have a credit card, I don’t have cash,“
Giuliani blurted out during the hearing.
“I can’t pay my bills.”
U.S. District Judge Lewis J. Liman reprimanded Giuliani for his volatile behavior and cautioned him to avoid outbursts during a sensitive hearing in Manhattan federal court. The 80-year-old, Giuliani, seemed offended by Liman’s disbelief that a former U.S. attorney had difficulty in obtaining a duplicate title for a car.
In response, Giuliani took the microphone and interrupted the judge.
“Your implication that I have been not diligent about this is totally incorrect,”
Giuliani said, according to Reuters.
“Everything I have is tied up,”
he explained.
Liman warned Giuliani’s defense attorneys that the court would
“take action”
if he interrupted again.
