"I’m going to turn over what I’m supposed to turn over when they figure out what that is. This is a this is not a…there’s never been a trial. I never had a trial. I owe $145 million without ever having a trial."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Rudy Giuliani, former New York City Mayor:
"But the reality is that this case is obviously a political vendetta. Just the mere fact that it’s $145 million judgment, I’m very, very disappointed that this judge doesn’t take seriously how ridiculous the judgment is."
++BLACK FRAMES++
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Rudy Giuliani, former New York City Mayor:
"So I am pretty sure – you’re never absolutely sure – this case can get reversed. This judge could wait until this case was affirmed by the D.C. Circuit. Most judges would rather just take all of a man’s property away."
++BLACK FRAMES++
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Rudy Giuliani, former New York City Mayor:
"I’m going to turn everything I’m legally required to turn over. The problem here is they have been less than clear. They’re very nice and clear in court, and they are completely obfuscating throughout, because their cause, their cause, as he said, is to impose as much distraction, as many problems and as much deterrence on others to help. This all comes from the same reason I’m indicted in two courts and they want to put me away for the rest of my life. A little ridiculous, right?"
++BLACK FRAMES++
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Rudy Giuliani, former New York City Mayor:
"There’s nothing. I didn’t commit a crime. Nobody’s been investigated for 20 years and you can’t find a crime. I don’t commit crimes. I don’t. I don’t practice law improperly. I’ve only been doing it for 51 years. I’ve had more success as a United States attorney than anybody in history."

STORYLINE:
A combative Rudy Giuliani said a civil case to take his most prized assets was like “a political persecution” before he entered a New York City courthouse Thursday to explain to a federal judge why he hasn’t surrendered his valuables as part of a $148 million defamation judgment.
"I’m going to turn over what I’m supposed to turn over when they figure out what that is. This is a this is not a there’s never been a trial. I never had a trial. This whole I owe $145 million without ever having a trial," said Giuliani outside of the courthouse.
Judge Lewis Liman ordered the former New York City mayor to report to court after lawyers for the two former Georgia election workers who were awarded the massive judgment visited Giuliani’s Manhattan apartment last week only to discover it had been cleared out weeks earlier.
The judge had set an Oct. 29 deadline for the longtime ally of once-and-future President Donald Trump to surrender many of his possessions to lawyers for Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss.
The possessions include his $5 million Upper East Side apartment, a 1980 Mercedes once owned by movie star Lauren Bacall, a shirt signed by New York Yankees legend Joe DiMaggio, dozens of luxury watches and other valuables.
During the court proceeding, which lasted over an hour, a lawyer for Freeman and Moss and a lawyer for Giuliani disputed whether Giuliani has done all he can to turn over assets.
Liman ordered Giuliani to hand over the Mercedes by Monday.
