“I can’t pay my bills,” Rudy Giuliani’s courtroom outburst has sparked a firestorm of reactions, ranging from outrage to schadenfreude. The sheer audacity of the statement, delivered by a man once hailed as “America’s Mayor,” is striking.

The irony isn’t lost on many. Giuliani’s past rhetoric often emphasized the importance of adhering to lawful authority, yet here he is, facing financial consequences for his actions, seemingly unable or unwilling to accept the repercussions. This jarring disconnect between his words and his current predicament fuels much of the public response.… Continue reading
To satisfy a $148 million defamation judgment awarded to Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Moss, I, Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer, have surrendered numerous assets, including dozens of watches, a ring, and a 1980 Mercedes-Benz. While some assets were delivered directly, I contest the immediate surrender of the Mercedes without prior appraisal, arguing it violates Mr. Giuliani’s rights if its value falls below legal exemptions. Further, I’ve requested exemptions for other items based on New York and Florida law, including clothing, household goods, and tools of the trade. Mr. Giuliani maintains this judgment is a result of political persecution and intends to appeal.

It’s a turn of events that evokes mixed emotions: a sense of vindication tinged with the stark reality of how someone can fall from such heights. Giuliani’s trajectory from “America’s Mayor” to a figure embroiled in scandal showcases the depths of personal and professional decay brought about by blind loyalty to a political figure like Donald Trump.… Continue reading
