Court proceedings in Rudy Giuliani’s bankruptcy case hit a boiling point Wednesday when lawyers for the creditors owed $148 million by the former New York City mayor floated the possibility of seeking jail time for his alleged “bankruptcy crimes.”
In New York federal court, Rachel Strickland, an attorney representing the two Georgia 2020 election workers who Giuliani defamed, pushed to have Giuliani’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy case thrown out, offering that Giuliani could receive a “hall pass” if the court did not do so, the Independent reported.
Strickland alleged Giuliani, the former attorney for Donald Trump, has used the proceedings to protect himself from the financial ramifications of the defamation case, and pointed to how he has time and again refused to follow requirements that he disclose his income and assets, according to Politico.
