Poll workers vilified by Giuliani could chase World Series rings: Judge

A federal judge in New York on Saturday allowed two Georgia poll watchers defamed by Rudy Giuliani to obtain information about four Yankees World Series rings owned by the former New York City mayor.

Ruby Freeman and Shay Moss claimed the rings as part of their Defamation judgment worth $148 million but when it came time to collect, Giuliani claimed he gave the rings as a gift to his son Andrew.

The judge’s Saturday morning order allows Freeman and Miss to serve a subpoena on Giuliani’s accounting firm for his tax returns.

An attorney for Freeman and Moss, Rachel Goodman, said she was looking for “evidence relating to any tax planning surrounding that alleged gift – or lack of such evidence.” She said it would help plaintiffs assess whether the gift occurred as Giuliani claimed.

The rings are estimated to be worth at least $200,000.

Earlier this week, the judge warned Giuliani that he could be subject to contempt proceedings if he fails to transfer most of his property to Freeman and Moss by Monday.

Last year, a federal jury ordered Giuliani to pay Freeman and Moss the hefty sum for defaming them with false allegations that the mother and daughter committed election fraud while the two were counting ballots in Georgia’s Fulton County on Election Day in 2020 were.
