NEW YORK — After he was found in contempt twice in one week, Rudy Giuliani faces another potentially treacherous week ahead at a trial to determine whether his Florida condominium and three World Series rings must be turned over to two Georgia election workers who won a $148 million defamation award against him.

The former New York City mayor was found in contempt on Friday by a Washington judge for repeating false claims that the workers corruptly counted votes in the 2020 presidential election. Last Monday, a New York judge found him in contempt for failing to adequately turn over evidence about his assets.

On Thursday, Mr. Giuliani, 80, faces trial in New York over whether he can keep his Palm Beach, Fla., condominium, which he asserts he established as his permanent residence a year ago, and whether he must turn over three World Series rings that he says he gave to his son in 2018.

Judge Lewis J. Liman, who will preside over the juryless trial in Manhattan federal court, is the same jurist who found Mr. Giuliani in contempt last Monday.
