The hearing revolves around Giuliani's alleged failure to comply with **disclosure demands** linked to a **$148 million defamation** award sought by two Georgia election workers.
Judge Liman criticized efforts by Giuliani and his lawyer to evade providing necessary information and indicated he might rule on contempt at the hearing.
Giuliani's property in **Palm Beach, Florida**, could be at risk of forfeiture to satisfy the defamation judgment if the judge makes adverse inferences against him.
