Giuliani’s son claims World Series rings awarded in defamation suit are his

[LAUREN TAYLOR]

TWO FORMER GEORGIA POLL WORKERS WHO WON A 148 MILLION DOLLAR DEFAMATION SUIT AGAINST FORMER NEW YORK CITY MAYOR RUDY GIULIANI WANT HIS YANKEES WORLD SERIES RINGS.

BUT HIS SON, ANDREW GIULIANI, SAYS HIS FATHER GAVE THEM TO HIM AS A GIFT IN 2018 AND HE’S NOT GIVING THEM BACK.

THE FORMER POLL WORKERS, RUBY FREEMAN AND WANDREA “SHAYE” MOSS, WON THEIR DEFAMATION SUIT OVER FALSE CLAIMS THE FORMER MAYOR MADE, ACCUSING THE ELECTION WORKERS OF TRYING TO STEAL THE ELECTION FROM TRUMP IN 2020.

AS PART OF THEIR SETTLEMENT, FREEMAN AND MOSS, SOUGHT TO GET GIULIANI’S APARTMENT IN MANHATTAN AND YANKEES MEMORABILIA.

THE YOUNGER GIULIANI REQUESTED TO INTERVENE IN THE CASE AND CLAIM OWNERSHIP OF THE FOUR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP RINGS.

A JUDGE APPROVED HIS REQUEST WEDNESDAY.

IN COURT FILINGS, ANDREW GIULIANI SAID HIS FATHER GAVE HIM THE RINGS FOLLOWING RUDY GIULIANI’S 74TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION IN NEW YORK, SAYING:

“AS A CHILD AND YOUNG ADULT, I HAD SPENT MANY NIGHTS WITH MY FATHER WATCHING YANKEES GAMES AND BONDING OVER OUR LOVE FOR THE TEAM, AND I WAS EXCITED ABOUT RECEIVING THE RINGS.”

IN A RECENT BANKRUPTCY FILING, RUDY GUILIANI LISTED THE RINGS AS PART OF HIS PERSONAL PROPERTY ALONG WITH JEWELRY VALUED AT AROUND 30-THOUSAND DOLLARS.

RUDY GUILIANI IS APPEALING THE SETTLEMENT, ARGUING HIS ASSERTIONS ABOUT THE WORKERS WERE PROTECTED UNDER THE FIRST AMENDMENT. 

AND SAYING THEY FAILED TO SHOW HE ACTED WITH “ACTUAL MALICE.”

HE ALSO ASKED THE NEW YORK JUDGE TO REFRAIN FROM GIVING HIS PROPERTY TO THE TWO WOMEN UNTIL AFTER A RULING ON THE APPEAL.
