Rudy Giuliani has been held in contempt of court for the second time this week in the case brought by two US election workers he falsely accused of helping to rig the 2020 presidential poll.
The former lawyer for president-elect Donald Trump violated a previous court agreement to stop making allegations of wrongdoing against the Georgian election workers, Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea "Shaye" Moss, US District Judge Beryl Howell found.
"It is outrageous and shameful that Mr Giuliani dares to suggest that he is the one who is being treated unfairly," Judge Howell said in Washington as she handed down the ruling.
Judge Howell found that Mr Giuliani violated the court agreement when he suggested on an episode of his America's Mayor Live podcast in November that video showed the pair "quadruple counting the ballots" and using a computer hard drive to "fix the machines".
The judge required Mr Giuliani to submit a court document within 10 days acknowledging that testimony and evidence presented during his civil trial in 2023 directly contradicted his statements.
Mr Giuliani would also have to pay attorney's fees and face a $US200 ($325.47) fine each day he did not file the court declaration, Judge Howell said.
