A committee of bankruptcy creditors found out that Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani spent nearly $120,000 in January after he agreed to abide by a $43,000 budget.
On December 21, 2023, Giuliani declared bankruptcy six days after a jury in Washington, D.C., ordered him to pay $148 million to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the two Georgia election workers whom he falsely accused of stealing the 2020 presidential election from his client Donald Trump.
Judge Beryl A. Howell said she was concerned that Giuliani would try to conceal his assets.
The budget Giuliani promised to adhere to was drawn from funds from Social Security and retirement accounts.
His committee of bankruptcy creditors told a bankruptcy judge, who controls his spending that they will not let the former New York City mayor drive his creditors “off a cliff.”
“Unfortunately, the committee is not surprised by the Debtor’s failure to file complete and accurate financial disclosures,” they stated in a court filing.

In a federal bankruptcy court in Manhattan, former New York City mayor and one-time attorney to Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, revealed his dire financial situation and cited approximately $2 million in unpaid legal fees owed to him by the former president’s campaign and the Republican National Committee.
Giuliani’s testimony, delivered on Wednesday, shed light on his strained financial state, which was exacerbated by a $148 million defamation judgment against him for disseminating false information about the 2020 presidential election.
Giuliani’s bankruptcy filing, under Chapter 11, has left him near financial ruin. “I wouldn’t be bankrupt, up until that,” he lamented during his court appearance.
Despite the increase in his financial challenges, Giuliani has refrained from holding Trump accountable for the outstanding legal fees he claims are owed to him.
Giuliani says that Trump requested that he “take over” the campaign’s legal staff in November 2020, as Trump-aligned attorneys launched an...

On Thursday, Rudy Giuliani declared bankruptcy after being ordered to immediately pay a $148 jury judgment to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the two Georgia women he falsely accused of stealing the 2020 election from his client Donald Trump.
The decision was made by Judge Beryl A. Howell, who had concerns that Giuliani might attempt to conceal his assets.
Despite Howell’s orders, there is little chance that Giuliani has anywhere near the $148 million he owes. The two Georgia women, who are mother and daughter, have also filed a request, which accused Giuliani of already failing to comply with other court orders.
In the 13-page order, Howell sided almost completely with Freeman and Moss.
“Giuliani has simply ignored the orders directing reimbursement to plaintiffs of attorney’s fees for discovery misconduct, without seeking extensions of time to make reimbursement, requesting any payment schedules or making any excuse for his nonpayment by the deadlines set in court orders,...

It’s the last SNL of 2023, former cast Mvp Kate McKinnon is hosting, and that just means the cold open had to dive into Rudy Giuliani’s latest legal face plant — which is exactly what the Lorne Michaels-produced show sadly didn’t do tonight.
Instead, being that it is the last Saturday Night Live of the year before Santa Claus starts shimming down chimneys in a week and a bit, the long-running NBC show went with the 95th annual Christmas Awards “live” from “beautiful and dangerous” downtown LA. A choice that resulted in what just may be the absolute worst cold open of the entire season so far — and that’s a distinct that requires real effort based on the past few weeks.

A federal jury Friday awarded two Georgia election workers a total of $148 million in their defamation case against Rudy Giuliani, as they said they were subject to harassment and death threats over false claims that they were involved in rigging the state’s results in the 2020 presidential election.
The election workers, Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss, sued Giuliani over the statements. The trial was largely to determine damages. They had previously testified before the January 6th Committee about the threats that they faced.
CNN and MSNBC went to breaking news of the huge verdict, while Fox News initially stuck with Neil Cavuto’s interview with New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, who has endorsed Nikki Haley in the Republican presidential race. Cavuto went to the story once that interview wrapped up.
The verdict was well above the $48 million in damages sought by by Freeman and Moss. The jury awarded Freeman $16.2 million for defamation,...

Rudy Giuliani was slated to testify on Thursday in the trial to determine how much he has to pay the Georgia election workers he defamed following the 2020 election. He decided against taking the stand, however, reneging on a promise to set the record straight and “give the whole story.”

On Wednesday, federal judge Beryl Howell in Washington, D.C., ruled that Rudy Giuliani was liable for defaming two 2020 Georgia election workers.
Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss of Atlanta sued former President Donald Trump‘s lawyer for wrongfully telling George state officials that they had committed election crimes to keep Trump out of office.
Despite evidence from multiple investigations that debunked any election fraud myths, Giuliani continued to promote the conspiracies at the expense of Freeman and Moss.
Howell ruled that Giuliani’s actions warranted a trial for “defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, civil conspiracy and punitive damages claims.”
Political adviser to Giuliani, Ted Goodman, said in a statement that Howell’s decision served as “a prime example of the weaponization of our justice system, where the process is the punishment.”
This is only the latest in a string of legal woes that Giuliani is currently facing. He is...

Rudy Giuliani has been found liable for defaming two Georgia election workers he claimed were part of a conspiracy to rig the 2020 presidential election.
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell also ordered that a trial be held on proposed damages to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the election workers that the former New York mayor had accused of manipulating votes.
The judgment came in response to the plaintiffs’ motion for sanctions against Giuliani for failing to comply with his discovery obligations in the case. Giuliani was a key figure in advancing then-President Donald Trump’s unfounded claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him.
In her opinion, Howell noted that Giuliani had turned over “a single page of communications, blobs of indecipherable data, a sliver of the financial documents required to be produced, and a declaration and two stipulations from Giuliani, who indicates in the latter stipulations his preference...

Trevian Kutti, a former publicist for Kanye West and R. Kelly, surrendered to authorities in Georgia on Friday on charges related to her role in the scheme to overturn the state’s 2020 election results.
Kutti’s arrest comes after Donald Trump turned himself in Thursday evening, and former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark surrendered early Friday morning. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis gave the former president and his 18 co-defendants a deadline of Friday at noon to stop by the county jail for booking.

Rudy Giuliani has conceded that statements he made about two Georgia election workers and their role in the 2020 presidential election were false and defamatory.
In a filing in D.C. federal court, Giuliani signed a stipulation in which he acknowledged that the statements he made “carry meaning that is defamatory per se” and that “such actionable statements were false.”
Giuliani is a defendant in a defamation lawsuit brought by Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the election workers that the former New York mayor had accused of manipulating votes. Freeman and Moss appeared last year before the January 6th Committee and described the harassment and threats they faced amid the accusations.
The concession was made “solely for the purposes of this litigation,” and the filing stated that Giuliani “is desirous to avoid unnecessary expenses in litigating what he believes to be unnecessary disputes.” Giuliani also continues to contest whether Freeman and Moss suffered any damages.

Committee member Rep.
