Rudy Giuliani surrendered his vintage Mercedes Benz, dozens of watches and other lavish possessions to the two Georgia election workers he defamed following the 2020 presidential election – in what his rep decried as a “bastardization” of the justice system.
The 80-year-old disbarred lawyer and former New York City mayor relinquished 26 watches, a ring, cash, and a blue 1980 Mercedes convertible once owned by Hollywood icon Lauren Bacall, to the two women who won the $148 million defamation judgment, according to his lawyer.
Giuliani, once fondly known as “America’s Mayor,” was given until Nov. 14 to fork over his assets after missing an Oct. 29 deadline.
Rudy Giuliani has surrendered dozens of watches, along with a Mercedes once owned by movie star Lauren Bacall, to two former Georgia election workers who won a $148 million defamation judgment. AP“This right here folks, this is the accumulation of 60 years of hard work. Many of these watches hold great sentimental value and he’s being forced to turn all these over under court order,” Giuliani’s spokesperson Ted Goodman said in a video he posted to X on Thursday from a FedEx store in Florida.
In the video, an irate Goodman pans to an array of swanky watches laid out on a table, while citing Giuliani’s role as mayor during the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.
“This is a man who demonstrated courage by running towards the flames and now he’s being forced to turn all this over under court order in an absolute bastardization of our justice system,” he continued.
“I have to document this. What’s happening is wrong. It’s shameful and we must restore the integrity of the US justice system.”
Giuliani’s lawyer, Joseph Cammarata, filed a letter late Friday in Manhattan federal court stating the watch collection, along with a ring, were delivered to a bank in Atlanta, with the ritzy car surrendered at an address in Hialeah, Florida, the Associated Press reported.
The 1980 Mercedes-Benz SL was turned over in Hialeah, Florida, as well as an undisclosed amount of funds from his bank accounts to the two women. APAn undisclosed amount of money from Giuliani’s Citibank accounts was also turned over to Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, according to the letter, though it was not immediately clear if other valuables were surrendered.
Giuliani was ordered by a federal judge to turn over his Upper East Side apartment, an extensive watch collection, a picture signed by legendary Yankees slugger Reggie Jackson, a replica of Joe DiMaggio’s jersey signed by the iconic Bronx Bomber, a diamond, cash, furniture and other possessions.
Cammarata argued that some of Giuliani’s valuables should be exempt from the judgment under New York and Florida law, AP reported, with some being surrendered prior to appraisal during the “wholly improper” process.
A federal judge awarded the two Georgia election workers the whopping judgment last year after a jury determined Giuliani defamed them when he falsely claimed the pair tried to cheat Donald Trump out of the election in 2020 – which was won by Joe Biden.

Giuliani claims he expects to get his possessions back on appeal. REUTERSThe Fulton County workers filed the suit in 2021, claiming Guiliani’s lies about them processing fraudulent ballots during the 2020 presidential election resulted in death threats and racist verbal attacks.
Giuliani was found liable for defaming Moss and Freeman by default in August 2023 after failing to divulge electronic messages and financial records that the women’s attorneys were entitled to during the litigation.
At the end of the trial to determine how much in damages Giuliani should pay, a federal jury in Washington DC in December 2023 awarded $75 million in punitive damages to both Moss and Freeman, as well as $20 million to each woman for emotional distress.
Giuliani, who has recently been crying poverty in the case, has since claimed he was the victim of a “political vendetta” and that he expects to win on appeal and get possessions back.
