Lisa Rubin noticed an update from Judge Beryl Howell, who is presiding over Giuliani's case in Washington D.C.
Giuliani was due in federal court on Friday to face another contempt motion involving Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the women he falsely claimed stole the Georgia election for President Joe Biden.
Now, Giuliani has filed a notice that he wants to appear virtually because he's ill.
