Rudy Giuliani, an ally of President-elect Donald J. Trump and former New York City mayor, has been denied a request to reschedule an upcoming trial to attend Trump’s inauguration. U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman, a Democrat who was appointed by Trump in 2018, turned down Giuliani’s request during a hearing on Tuesday.

Giuliani is currently in a legal dispute for allegedly defaming two election workers from Georgia. His lawyer, Joseph M. Cammarata, argued Giuliani, an advisor to President-elect Trump, needs to be present at the inauguration on January 20.

Judge Liman dismissed the request, stating that Giuliani’s “social calendar” was not a sufficient reason for moving the trial date. The hearing became contentious when questions arose about Giuliani’s failure to provide the title for a car he must surrender as part of a $148 million defamation judgment. Giuliani refuted negligence claims, telling the judge, “The implication I’ve been not diligent about it is totally incorrect. The implication you make against me and every implication against me is wrong.”

Liman is a big Democrat donor, having contributed over $10,000 to the party and its candidates in recent years. Gifts include cash to Chuck Schumer, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and state parties across the country.

‘I DON’T HAVE CASH.’

Giuliani, dubbed ‘America’s Mayor’ for his leadership of New York City during the 9/11 terror attacks in 2001, explained, “I’m not impoverished. Everything I have is tied up. I don’t have a car. I don’t have a credit card. I don’t have cash. I can’t get to bank accounts that truly would be mine because they have put… stop orders on, for example, my Social Security account, which they have no right to do.”

The trial involves Giuliani’s ordered payment of $11 million in assets to Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Moss. He suggested they engaged in election fraud after the 2020 election. Assets he must relinquish include a vintage Mercedes and luxury watches. Efforts to protect additional belongings, like his Florida residence and sports memorabilia, continue under Judge Liman’s ruling.

The National Pulse has previously reported that the courts even want the 80-year-old to hand over four World Series rings, which he previously gifted to his son, from the New York Yankees’ championships in 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2000.
