Summary
Rudy Giuliani, once celebrated as “America’s Mayor,” is battling severe financial and legal troubles, including a $150 million defamation judgment from election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman, $1.4 million in unpaid legal fees, and asset seizures.
Giuliani has surrendered luxury items like watches and a Mercedes but is now fighting to keep his Manhattan penthouse’s refrigerator, citing basic living needs.
Representing himself in court signals his dire financial state.
Giuliani also faces multiple lawsuits stemming from his promotion of election fraud claims and mounting unpaid debts to former lawyers.
I suspect its more that they just arent as “important”, in terms of extreme wealth or active political power, as some of the other guys. Its not like Trump, who both was running for office, had judges in some of his cases that he put there, and who now has an electoral victory, and its not like the ones in congress, who are, well, in congress and therefore have other congresspeople to protect them or at least want them to stay if theyre on the same side. A lawyer and a guy who is rich, but not like Jeff Bezos rich, just dont have as much protecting them, which both means they cant get away with stuff other guys can, and if one is more cynical, represent people who cant fight back as much if thrown under the bus.
