What goes around comes around: Bankrupt Rudy Giuliani claims Trump owes him money
Pity the fool? Not when it comes to Rudy Giuliani. The 79-year-old immediately filed for bankruptcy protection last month after a D.C. jury required him to pay $148 million to two former Georgia election workers he defamed.
And in financial statements filed last Friday to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, Giuliani reported a monthly net income of just $2,308. Among the assets Giuliani listed was a “possible claim for unpaid legal fees against Donald J. Trump,” and a “Joseph Biden Defamation Action.” In October, Giuliani filed a defamation lawsuit in New Hampshire against President Joe Biden for calling him a “Russian pawn” during a 2020 election debate, CNN reported.
Last summer, CNN reported that Giuliani and his then-attorney Robert Costello traveled to Mar-a-Lago “to make a personal and desperate appeal” to Trump to pay legal bills amounting to seven figures. And now it seems the student has become the master as Costello and his firm have since sued Giuliani for $1.4 million in unpaid legal bills.
