In an order issued on Tuesday, District Judge Lewis Liman ruled that Giuliani will have to turn over the penthouse, a 1980 Mercedes-Benz previously owned by the late actor Lauren Bacall, valuable sports memorabilia, including his signed Joe DiMaggio jersey, his collection of watches and other jewelry, furniture, and his TV to Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss.

Freeman and Moss will also be entitled to $2 million in legal fees that Giuliani claims the campaign for Donald Trump has promised to pay.

Giuliani has seven days to comply with the order.

The ruling comes after a jury found that Giuliani defamed Freeman and Moss by pushing false claims they engaged in election fraud while serving as poll workers in Georgia during the 2020 election.

In December 2023, the two women were awarded over $150 million in damages, forcing the wealthy politician to file for bankruptcy.

Last month, Giuliani's daughter endorsed Democrat Kamala Harris for president, and blamed former President Trump for ruining her father's legacy.
