In an unprecedented move, Judge Ike Smith unleashed a blistering rebuke against former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, criticizing him for incessant interruptions during the Dominion Voting Systems defamation trial. Smith declared, “Mr. Giuliani, I have repeatedly instructed you to remain silent when others are speaking. Your persistent interjections are not only disrespectful but also disruptive to the proceedings.” Smith’s stern rebuke drew gasps from the courtroom as Giuliani appeared visibly shaken, his attempts to defend himself halted by Smith’s determination to maintain order.
