Rudy Giuliani bankruptcy shows Trump ally drowning in debt
Rudy Giuliani’s bankruptcy filing, spurred by a multimillion-dollar verdict against him for defaming two Georgia election workers, has provided fresh insight into the former New York City mayor’s finances.
A federal jury in Washington, D.C. in December ordered Giuliani to pay Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss a whopping $148 million for baselessly claiming they engaged in widespread voter fraud after the 2020 election. Days later, he filed for bankruptcy, acknowledging the severe strain the penalty put on his finances.
His bankruptcy judge late Tuesday allowed the longtime ally of former President Trump to appeal the defamation verdict but in the meantime, his bankruptcy proceeding has cracked Giuliani’s finances wide open, shedding light on his debts and overall standing.
That standing includes thousands of dollars in taxes and credit card debt and millions more he could owe to voting technology companies Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic if he’s found to have defamed them, too.
I'm convinced that trump considers nobody an ally, just people he can dupe or bully for what he sees as advantage.
If you listen to some people, they have "friends" that are simply business partners or people with whom they can get things done with or have done things with. But nothing about mutual friendship over something truly meaningful. It's just business.
Totally agree. His entire world view is based on reducing everything to a zero sum win/lose proposition.
