Andrew Giuliani Claims Ownership of Rudy Giuliani’s World Series Rings in Defamation Case

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is facing a legal battle over his World Series rings, with his son Andrew Giuliani claiming ownership of the prized possessions. The rings, which represent the New York Yankees’ championships in 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2000, were gifted to Andrew by his father in 2018. However, two Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Moss, who won a $148 million defamation judgment against Rudy Giuliani, are now seeking possession of the rings as part of their efforts to collect on the judgment.

Andrew Giuliani filed court papers in federal court in Manhattan asserting his ownership of the rings, stating that his father had given them to him as a gift. He also provided a photo of himself and his wife holding cases containing two of the rings, taken on the night he received them. The legal dispute over the rings is just one aspect of the ongoing legal battle between Rudy Giuliani and the election workers, who accused him of spreading false claims about ballot fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

Rudy Giuliani, who is appealing the $148 million defamation judgment, is arguing that the claims made against him were protected by free speech rights and that the election workers did not prove malice in their case. The legal drama surrounding the rings adds another layer of complexity to the already contentious legal battle between the parties. A federal judge in Manhattan has scheduled a hearing for October 17 to address the motion by Freeman and Moss seeking possession of Rudy Giuliani’s assets, including the World Series rings.
