On a day his old boss achieved victory, Rudy Giuliani lost badly in terms of optics.
The former New York City mayor pulled up to Donald Trump’s voting place Tuesday in a fancy Mercedes convertible that he’s been ordered to fork over to the Georgia election workers he falsely accused of cheating in 2020, the New York Post reported.
The car, once owned by actor Lauren Bacall, is part of the spoils the ex-Trump lawyer and election denier was already ordered to surrender after a $148 million judgment against him in the defamation case.
Giuliani seemed to blatantly flout the ruling with cameras clicking as he appeared in the showy vehicle to watch Trump vote at a Palm Beach polling spot. Just a day earlier, a judge ordered Giuliani to appear in court to fess up why he’s violated the deadline to cough up his assets, The Post wrote.

The car, his Manhattan penthouse apartment and New York Yankees memorabilia now belong to election workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, whom he wrongfully accused of fraud in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. But their lawyer said Giuliani has yet to part with any property, NBC reported.
A Giuliani spokesperson told the network Tuesday, “Our lawyers have requested documentation to transfer over the title of the vehicle, and haven’t heard back from opposing counsel.”
