Giuliani Files for Bankruptcy

After being losing his recent defamation lawsuit, former lawyer to Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, has filed for bankruptcy. The former New York mayor was ordered to pay $146 million to the plaintiffs in the December ruling.

Giuliani, who has not backed down on his outrageous claims against the plaintiffs, Wandrea Moss and Ruby Freeman, stated that he owes up to $500 million yet owns no more than $10 million in assets.

After the case's verdict was announced, Giuliani stated that he had not lied in his claims against the plaintiffs. "Everything I said about them is true," said the former Trump lawyer.

Both Moss and Freeman have launched another lawsuit against Giuliani, claiming he's inflicted intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The former mayor has faced a bevy of legal troubles. In August, after turning himself in, Giuliani was booked at the Fulton County jail. His bond was set at $150,000, $50,000 less than Trump's.

After Giuliani was booked, he stated that he was honored to be a part of the case involving charges of attempting to overturn an election.

“This indictment is a travesty. It’s an attack on -- not just me, not just President Trump, not just the people in this indictment, some of whom I don’t even know – this is an attack on the American people,” said Guiliani.

Giuliani was not the only Trump ally to be booked. Trump's allies include former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Trump administration Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark.

The defendants have been accused of creating a “criminal racketeering” enterprise to overturn the results of the election in the state of Georgia.

Trump has been preoccupied with his civil fraud trial as he awaits the beginning of his insurrection trial. The civil fraud trial has resulted in various reprimands of the disgruntled defendant. Having been previously warned to not violate the gag orders, Trump has been fined a total of $15,000 for disobeying the judge's orders.

After hearing his former attorney Michael Cohen's testimony, Trump made statements, both in-person and on social media, claiming that someone very "partisan" was sitting next to the judge. These accusations put the former president in trouble as he ran the risk of receiving a financial penalty for his words.
