Rudy Giuliani will not testify about his own conduct at a hearing where a judge will decide whether to hold him in contempt and impose sanctions for his repeated flouting of court orders as the Georgia election workers he defamed litigate the collection of their $148 million judgment awarded in their favor.
The former New York City mayor on Thursday asked the court to let him appear virtually rather than in person at the Manhattan federal courthouse for Friday's hearing due to "medical issues" and conceded that, should the request be granted, he would be not be providing testimony.
In a letter submitted to U.S. District Judge Lewis J. Liman, Giuliani's attorney Joseph Cammarata requested that the former New York City mayor be permitted to appear via Zoom or telephone. According to Cammarata, the request stems from Giuliani "having medical issues with his left knee" as well as "breathing problems due to lung issues" that were the result of him "being at the World Trade Center site on September 11, 2001."
Attorneys for Ruby Freeman and Wandrea "Shay" Moss responded by stating that if Giuliani truly was not going to testify, than they had "no position" on the matter.
