Thanks to his incompetence and obstruction, former Trump lawyer and landscaper promoter Rudy Giuliani will likely face innumerable lawsuits from his creditors because the judge overseeing his bankruptcy filing said he’s leaning toward dismissing Giuliani’s case, the New York Times reports.
Giuliani has consistently missed filing deadlines and refused to comply with demands of information from his creditors, throwing his bankruptcy filing into chaos. The lawyer representing two of Giuliani’s creditors, Fulton County election workers Shay Moss and Ruby Freeman, to whom Giuliani owes $148 million from a defamation settlement, told the judge that Giuliani’s continued refusal to comply could lead to an investigation into obstruction.
“So unless your honor wants to entertain putting America’s mayor in prison,” Rachel Strickland said in court, adding the relevant criminal statute, “I suggest you throw the case out.” Giuliani agreed with this, asking the judge to toss the case as well.
What this means for Giuliani is simple: he now becomes the target of individual lawsuits from his creditors and he faces the complete liquidation of all his assets, including real property and any accounts he holds. Giuliani’s bankruptcy, filed within days of the Fulton County judgment, was an clear attempt to delay losing his lifestyle.
