Rudy Giuliani has been found in contempt of court for continuing to spread lies about two former Georgia election workers after a jury awarded the women a 148 million-dollar (£121 million) defamation judgment.

US district judge Beryl Howell in Washington, DC, is the second federal judge this week to find the former New York City mayor in contempt of court.
