When the trusteeship, controlled by two election workers, was finally granted access to Giuliani’s Manhattan apartment, they discovered that Giuliani had “moved out virtually all of its contents approximately four weeks earlier—something neither the Defendant nor the Defendant’s attorney bothered to mention.” Aaron Nathan, an attorney for poll workers, said in a letter to the court.

“Neither the defendant nor his attorney thought to mention that probate property located in the Apartment was concealed,” Nathan said in the letter.

“More worryingly, the defendant and his lawyer refused or were unable to answer basic questions about the location of many of the properties subject to receivership,” the lawyer told the judge.

“The entire contents of the Apartment have been emptied except for a few rugs, a dining room table, stray small furniture and cheap wall art, and a handful of small items such as dishes and a stereo,” Nathan’s letter reads. it said. “Specifically, this includes the vast majority (though not all) of the valuable proprietary property known to be stored there, including works of art, sports memorabilia, expensive furniture, and other items so inconspicuous that they do not appear in photographic listings.”

When buyers asked Giuliani’s representatives where the items were, Nathan said those questions were “predominantly met with evasion or silence.”

“Mayor Giuliani has made his property and belongings available for use as ordered,” a spokesperson for Giuliani said in response.

“A number of items were placed in storage over the past year and everything else that was removed was related to two livestream shows broadcast on social media platforms each weeknight,” the spokesperson said. “Acting in a negligent or deliberately deceptive manner, opposing counsel attempts to further bully and intimidate Mayor Giuliani until he is left broke and homeless.”

Giuliani is scheduled to appear in court this Thursday afternoon.

His lawyer had asked if Giuliani could attend by phone because he was scheduled to appear on a live radio broadcast at the time, but the judge did not allow it.
