Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss have filed a motion in federal court demanding that Rudy Giuliani be held in civil contempt for continuing to spread false claims about them.

This request, submitted Wednesday, stems from Giuliani’s ongoing defamation despite a prior injunction forbidding him from making such statements, Forbes reports.

A federal judge has ordered Giuliani to respond by December 2, with a hearing set for December 12.

On Thursday, Rudy Giuliani challenged the judge’s ruling from last month, which required him to hand over most of his assets to the two Georgia election workers, per a news report by The Hill.

In May, Giuliani agreed to stop making false allegations related to the 2020 election and its results.

Now, the election workers are seeking sanctions against Giuliani after he failed to honor the terms of this agreement, continuing to falsely accuse Freeman and Moss of wrongdoing, including baselessly claiming that they had “quadruple counted” ballots—a claim for which there is no evidence,

Giuliani allegedly doubled down on his false claims during his online show last week, defiantly shrugging off the threat of another lawsuit. He declared, “What am I going to do but tell the truth?” Forbes writes, quoting Giuliani.

These statements directly violate the court order he had previously agreed to.

As a result of Giuliani’s defamation, he was ordered to pay Freeman and Moss $148 million.

However, after declaring bankruptcy, he has been forced to begin turning over his assets to satisfy the judgment, including his car and New York City apartment.

Freeman and Moss are now asking the court to enforce penalties on Giuliani, potentially including further damages.

Giuliani’s spokesperson, Ted Goodman, has called the motion an attack on Giuliani’s First Amendment rights, insisting that he should be able to defend himself, Forbes adds.
