Giuliani appears in NYC court after missing a deadline to surrender assets

NEW YORK (AP) — A combative Rudy Giuliani has appeared in a New York City courtroom to explain to a federal judge why he hasn’t surrendered his valuables as part of a $148 million defamation judgment. Judge Lewis Liman ordered the former New York City mayor to appear in court after lawyers for the two former Georgia election workers awarded the massive judgment visited Giuliani’s Manhattan apartment last week only to discover it had been cleared out. During the hearing Thursday, the judge set a Monday deadline for Giuliani to surrender his 1980 Mercedes once owned by movie star Lauren Bacall to Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss.

Slightly more Americans apply for unemployment benefits last week

(AP) — The number of Americans applying for jobless aid ticked up last week but layoffs remain at historically low levels. The Labor Department reported Thursday that jobless claim applications rose by 3,000 to 221,000 for the week of Nov. 2. That’s fewer than the 227,000 analysts forecast. The four-week average of weekly claims, which softens some of the week-to-week fluctuations, fell by 9.750 to 227,250. Weekly applications for jobless benefits are considered representative of U.S. layoffs in a given week. Continuing claims, the total number of Americans collecting jobless benefits, rose by 39,000 to 1.89 million for the week of Oct. 26. That’s the most since late 2021.

California wildfire burns out of control but firefighters could get a break

CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) — A wildfire northwest of Los Angeles burned out of control for a second day after destroying dozens of homes, but officials said firefighters could get a break with heavy winds expected to subside. More than 10,000 residents remain under evacuation orders as the Mountain Fire continued to threaten some 3,500 structures in suburban neighborhoods, ranches and agricultural areas around Camarillo in Ventura County. The blaze has zero containment. Officials in several Southern California counties have urged residents to be on watch for fast-spreading blazes, power outages and downed trees.
