This comes after Giuliani, 80, testified for three hours on Friday and again on Monday explaining the delays in sharing information about his assets.  

Liman said that he would be issuing sanctions against Giuliani over the contempt, which he would decide on later. 

Another trial set for Jan. 16 will decide whether a New York Yankees World Series ring and Giuliani’s Florida home can be used to help pay his debt to Freeman and Moss.
