Rudy Giuliani Asks To Delay Trial So He Can Attend Trump's Inauguration

Rudy Giuliani wants to delay his trial date with Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the two Georgia election workers he defamed and owes roughly $150 million, because he really wants to attend Donald Trumps inauguration, an attorney for the mother-daughter duo told a judge on Monday.
A trial to enforce Giulianis payment to the women is set to begin on Jan. 16, just days before Trump will be sworn into office on Jan. 20. In a letter filed late Monday, Freeman and Moss attorney Aaron Nathan urged U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman to deny Giulianis Nov. 15 request for a month-long extension to deadlines in the case.
Giulianis lawyer Joseph Cammarata said this is because Giuliani has plans to be present at the presidential inauguration... and because, in Defendant counsels words, there are inauguration events planned for, I believe, January 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20, 2025.
Cammarata said there would be no harm done if the trial was simply adjourned for just a few days and resumed by Jan. 22, according to Nathan. This is but the latest turn in a very long series of delays that have persistently dogged the mother and daughter pairs attempt to collect from President-elect Donald Trumps onetime personal lawyer and co-defendant in the Georgia election interference case.

And he is not even in office.
Laws no longer matter at all.

Using a big GOP party as an excuse to delay handing over what he owes those women he tried to destroy is a pretty desperate move. Time for judges, all of them involved with cases that Trump flunkies lost, to hand down some justice and enforce the verdicts.

Why does he need a month-long delay? Is he planning to walk to DC and back? Or is he planning to need that much time to recover from the inaugural parties - if he's even invited.
