From an order related to collecting on the defamation judgment from Rudy Giuliani:

Defendant testified under oath at the Section 341 meeting of creditors in his bankruptcy case that he is owed “about two million dollars” by either or both the Trump 2020 Presidential Campaign and the Republican National Committee for his work following the 2020 presidential
election. Dkt. No. 10-9 at 61:15–16; see id. 63:1–2 (confirming that the Trump 2020 Campaign and the Republican National Committee “were supposed to split it”). According to Defendant’s sworn testimony, he submitted an invoice for payment of these fees, but was never paid. Id.

Defendant requested that the Court postpone the turnover of the Trump Campaign claims for unpaid legal fees until November 6, 2024, the day after Election Day, expressing concern that Plaintiffs might use this assignment for improper purposes, “creating [a] confusing, and inaccurate, appearance . . . thereby generating an accompanying, and unnecessary, media frenzy.” Dkt. No. 44. The profound irony manifest in Defendant’s alleged concern is not lost on the Court. By his own admission, Defendant defamed Plaintiffs by perpetuating lies about them. See D.C. Action, Dkt. No. 84. Defendant’s lies cast unwarranted doubt on the integrity of the ballot-counting in Fulton County, Georgia in the immediate wake of the 2020 Presidential Election. Plaintiffs are entitled as a matter of law to pursue any outstanding interest of the Defendant’s in satisfaction of their judgment, including contingent, future, and intangible interests, so long as they are assignable. Motorola Credit Corp. v. Uzan, 739 F. Supp. 2d 636, 641 (S.D.N.Y. 2010) (citing ABKCO Indus. v. Apple Films, Inc., 350 N.E.2d 899, 901–02 (1976)). Under New York statute, those interests expressly include a cause of action owned by the Defendant against a third party. See N.Y. C.P.L.R. 5201(a).
