2 hours ago 3

A federal judge on Friday found Rudy Giuliani in contempt of court for continuing to spread false claims about two former Georgia election workers.

On Monday, Giuliani, a former attorney for President-elect Donald Trump and a former mayor of New York City, was held in contempt for failing to properly respond to requests for information as he turned over assets to satisfy a defamation judgment granted to the same two election workers.

This is a developing story and will be updated when more information becomes available.
