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.

Internet reacts as court filings reveals Rudy Giuliani waiting to be paid by Donald Trump

Several people on the internet grilled Rudy Giuliani as documents revealed that he is still waiting to be paid by Donald Trump.

A user said, "You can't say you were unaware of Trump's history" while one added, "If Rudy is so broke, how can he afford the legal fees to sue Trump? Isn’t that throwing good money (if there is any) at bad money?"

A user wrote, "Why would anyone vote for someone who never pays his bills?"

Another noted, "The lesson here is to never have an oral agreement with fat Don."

A person also stated, "I don't like your chances, Rudy."

One added, "Hitched his wagon to Trump's falling star... Chalk it up as a lose and Start running Rudy."
