Legal problems have left Rudy Giuliani With the water up to the neck. Donald Trump’s former lawyer is facing a barrage of legal bills and penalties related to his attempt to reverse the presidential election what USA celebrated in 2020 and that resulted in the victory of Joe Biden.
This Monday, Giuliani confessed before a New York state court that he no longer has money in cash to face the hundreds of thousands of dollars that he will have to pay for having helped the former US president in his attempt to subvert the democracy. In addition to the fees for his lawyerscurrently owes nearly $90,000 in penalties for a defamation and another 57,000 for non-payment of telephone bills from his company, among others.
That amount does not include the new criminal charges against him for operating as Trump’s right-hand man after the 2020 US presidential election. Giuliani deliberately promoted the false conspiracy of electoral fraud, tried to overturn the results and was active in smearing poll workers. His name is on the imputation issued this Monday by the State of Georgia. In the accusation special prosecutor Jack SmithGiulani is described as the “number 1 co-conspirator”.
Giuliani’s role has been etched in the memory of many Americans. On November 20, 2020, the lawyer starred in an incendiary press conference in which he reiterated, without providing any evidence, the existence of a “national-level plan” to kick Trump out of office. White House. But beyond those hoaxes, the image that remained for posterity was Giuliani’s face, so altered that she began to sweat hair dye.
“Very humiliating”
The situation Giuliani finds himself in is extremely complicated. As reported by CNN, the former mayor of New York would have even put a three-bedroom apartment that he owns in Manhattan up for sale for 6.5 million to have more liquidity.
“There are many bills that he is not paying,” his lawyer, Adam Katz, said in court on Wednesday. “I think this is very humiliating for Mr. Giuliani.” The defense has denounced that the elaboration of a financial profile of his client only intends to “draw attention to his misfortunes”. Still, in a brief filed in August, they asked the court for more time so they could pay all outstanding bills.
Giuliani faces impeachment proceedings in both New York and Washington DC. In addition, his lawyer’s license is suspended, which makes it impossible for him to practice and earn money to face the multitude of legal fronts that he has open.
There was a time when Rudolph Giuliani was almost revered. So much so that he even became known as the mayor of America. The management of him in front of NY after the terrorist attacks of the 11-S established his figure, respected by both Republicans and Democrats. However, that Rudy is already far away.
