| WORDS OF WISDOM | | "Friendship seems to hold states together." | | ARISTOTLE | | | Good morning! Today we're covering a judge's order forcing Rudy Giuliani to hand over his assets, Taiwan refusing to give in to a demand from South Africa, and the state of the 2024 race with less than two weeks left before Election Day. | | TOP NEWS | | | |
His Grandfather's Watch Former Trump adviser Rudy Giuliani must hand over a long list of assets, including his Manhattan co-op apartment and his grandfather's watch, in pursuit of satisfying the nearly $150 million judgment won by two ex-Georgia election workers who sued him for defamation, a federal judge ruled.
Southern District of New York Judge Lewis Liman's order set up a receivership for Ruby Freeman and Wandrea "Shaye" Moss, the mother-daughter pair who successfully sued over Giuliani's claims that they had mishandled ballots during the 2020 election. Giuliani has seven days to turn the assets over to them.
Giuliani spokesperson Ted Goodman previously criticized the filing as a step "designed to harass and intimidate the mayor" while he's appealing the "objectively unreasonable" judgment. "This lawsuit has always been designed to censor and bully the mayor and to deter others from exercising their right to speak up and to speak out," Goodman said. | |
Unreasonable Demands Taiwan's foreign ministry on Tuesday refused to move its embassy from the capital of South Africa in response to a request from Pretoria likely prompted by the Chinese Communist Party.
South Africa's foreign ministry, the Department of International Relations and Cooperation, confirmed on Oct. 18 that it had requested Taiwan to rebrand the Taipei Liaison Office as a trade office and relocate from Pretoria to Johannesburg, which the department called the country's economic hub. In response to Taipei's criticism that South Africa is yielding to pressure from Beijing, the department explained that the request was made because the country does not have formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan, and the move was meant to "correct the anomaly" of having the Taiwan office located in the capital city.
"We will never accept such unreasonable demands," Taiwan's spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Jeff Liu, said. | | MORE TOP NEWS | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PREMIUM | | | | INSPIRED | | | | EPOCH TV | | | | | | OPINION | | | | | | EPOCH FUN | | | |
