Giuliana
Giuliani's lawyer Joseph Cammarata told Liman that his client had turned over 90% of the assets.
But the judge questioned Giuliani's alleged struggle to secure paperwork to hand over his 1980 Mercedes vehicle, saying Giuliani's prior job as the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan was a sign he was fully competent.
That prompted Giuliani, 80, to speak up, complaining that his day-to-day life had been hamstrung by the election workers.
"Your implication that I have been not diligent about this is totally incorrect," Giuliani said from the defense table, pointing at the judge.
"I don't have a car, I don't have a credit card, I don't have cash," Giuliani said. "I can't pay my bills."
Liman then warned Giuliani that he could not speak again in court unless testifying under oath because his lawyer should do the talking.
"There should be no higher priority for your client right now than complying with the court's orders. Period," Liman told Cammarata.
The scheduled Jan. 16 trial will address whether Giuliani must surrender property in Florida and sports memorabilia.
Liman separately rejected Giuliani's request to delay the trial so he could attend events connected to Trump's Jan. 20 inauguration. Cammarata said Giuliani still regularly consults with Trump.
"The defendant's social calendar does not constitute due cause," Liman said.
Giuliani has been disbarred in New York, and pleaded not guilty to criminal charges in Georgia and Arizona that he aided Trump's unsuccessful attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

Bannon
A judge Tuesday set Feb. 25 as the start of Bannon's trial on charges related to alleged money laundering, conspiracy and a scheme to defraud. The case stems from Bannon's alleged role in an organization that raised millions on the promise — during Trump's first term in office — that they would privately build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Hunter Biden
He was initially scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 13, but the judge agreed to delay the hearing until Dec. 4 after Hunter Biden’s lawyers said they needed more time to adequately prepare.
The gun charges are punishable by up to 25 years in prison, though he will likely face far less time behind bars or possibly avoid imprisonment entirely.
He also faces sentencing in California on Dec. 16 on federal tax charges he pleaded guilty to earlier this month. Those charges carry up to 17 years behind bars. He also faces up to $1.35 million in fines.

Trump Classified Docs Coconspirators
Bloomberg News reported that while prosecutors said they won’t pursue an appeal of the charges against Trump in the classified records case, they will press ahead with a challenge to a Florida federal judge’s dismissal in July of charges against his two co-defendants, Nauta and another Trump aide, Carlos De Oliveira.
But the news service also reported that as president, Trump could order prosecutors to fully drop the appeal or to pardon Nauta and De Oliveira.

There's also the Georgia criminal case in which Trump and many others are defendants and the Arizona criminal case in which Trump is not a defendant. What else?
