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 former President Donald Trump in 2020. As part of the 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 Series rings, and a judge approved his request on Wednesday, Oct. 9.

In court filings, Andrew Giuliani said his father gave him the rings following Rudy Guiliani’s 74th birthday celebration in New York.

Andrew Giuliani said, “As 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 Giuliani listed the rings as part of his personal property along with jewelry valued at around $30,000. Giuliani is appealing the settlement, arguing his assertions about the workers were protected under the First Amendment and saying that 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.
