Rudy Giuliani mocked as documents reveal Donald Trump yet to pay him $2M for legal counsel
WASHINGTON, DC: Rudy Giuliani's most recent bankruptcy case filings indicate that Donald Trump still hasn't given him the $2 million he owes for legal counsel during the 2020 election, according to Newsweek.
Notably, Giuliani's bankruptcy creditors are now considering suing him, which would compel him to file a claim against Trump.
Documents reveal Rudy Giuliani still waiting to be paid by Donald Trump
In December 2023, Giuliani declared bankruptcy following a jury's $148 million verdict in favor of two Georgia election workers who had successfully sued Giuliani for slander.
Notably, while working as a Trump lawyer in 2020, Giuliani made up allegations that a mother and daughter had committed electoral fraud in Fulton County during the ballot counting process.
Moreover, Giuliani disclosed that he was thinking of suing Trump for nonpayment when he declared bankruptcy in December 2023. When asked to include "claims of every nature" in the bankruptcy filing, Giuliani stated that he had a "possible claim for unpaid legal fees against Donald J Trump".
Furthermore, there are rumors that Giuliani and Trump had an informal arrangement for Giuliani to provide legal counsel throughout the presidential race for $20,000 a day. Trump was keen to have the former mayor of New York as his legal advisor.
Giuliani's legal expenses were almost $2 million, according to a 2021 New York Times story. Giuliani's bankruptcy terms require him to submit a monthly report detailing his earnings and outlays.
Notably, on June 26, he submitted his most recent report for May 2024 to the bankruptcy court.
