BREAKING: Disgraced Trump election attorney Rudy Giuliani is hit with devastating news as NBC News reveals that the judge overseeing the defamation lawsuit brought by Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss just “punished” Giuliani in a HUGE way…

NBC reports that the judge just ruled that she “will tell jurors that Giuliani intentionally hid financial documents and other records in defiance of court orders” in order to hide his true net worth.

In today’s blistering ruling, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell said that the move was necessary given "Giuliani’s continued and flagrant disregard of this Court’s August 30 Order that he produce financial-related documents concerning his personal and his businesses’ past and present assets.”

Adding insult to injury for Giuliani, NBC reports that “this means that jurors deciding how much Giuliani should pay the two Georgia election workers he defamed will be told that they can assume the worst about why the former New York City mayor has failed to turn over the court-ordered records” — and slap Giuliani with a massive, appropriate sum in legal damages.

The judge wrote, “The jury will be instructed that it must, when determining an appropriate sum of compensatory, presumed, and punitive damages, infer that defendant Giuliani was intentionally trying to hide relevant discovery about the Giuliani Businesses’ finances for the purpose of shielding his assets from discovery and artificially deflating his net worth. The defendant and his lawyer will be banned from making any argument, or introducing any evidence, stating or suggesting that he is insolvent, bankrupt, judgment proof, or otherwise unable to defend himself" since he failed to hand over evidence that would back that up.

Even worse for Giuliani, NBC reports that, “Friday's ruling comes as Giuliani faces increased legal and financial problems. He's been charged criminally in the Fulton County racketeering case with Trump and more than a dozen others — and is also being sued by his former lawyers, who allege that he owes them about $1.4 million in unpaid legal fees.“

Tick-tock, Rudy…
