While President-elect Donald Trump has escaped legal jeopardy, Politico reports that one-time Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani is not so lucky.
As Politico's Kyle Cheney tells it on his Blue Sky account, Giuliani faces "a hellish month" in court as he faces two different contempt hearings that could result in what Cheney describes as "severe consequences."
In the full Politico report, Cheney and colleague Erica Orden explain that those consequences could even include jail time for the 80-year-old man once known as "America's mayor" for his response to the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York.
As if that weren't enough, Giuliani is also "facing a trial later this month about whether he must turn over his Palm Beach condo to two Georgia women who won a $148 million defamation verdict against him in 2023."

The biggest source of Giuliani's legal woes stems from his defamation of former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whom Giuliani falsely accused of rigging the election against Donald Trump.
As part of the $148 million leveled against Giuliani, the women have already taken his Mercedes convertible and are in the process of taking his apartment in Manhattan as well.
None of this, however, has stopped Giuliani from continuing to make defamatory statements against Freeman and Moss, which is part of the reason why they are asking Judge Lewis Liman to hold the former New York mayor in contempt.
"Freeman and Moss have not explicitly asked for jail time, but they have said that any fine would be an insufficient punishment, because Giuliani’s debt to the two women already far exceeds his assets," write Cheney and Orden.
