Rudy Giuliani's Bankruptcy Filing Challenged by Defamation Lawsuit Plaintiffs

Former NYC Mayor Faces Accusations of Abusing Bankruptcy System to Avoid Paying $148 Million Judgment

Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor and Trump attorney, is facing scrutiny over his bankruptcy filing following a defamation lawsuit that resulted in a $148 million judgment against him.
The lawsuit was filed by Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Shaye Moss, Georgia election workers who Giuliani falsely accused of committing voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election.
Giuliani's bankruptcy filing has halted the immediate enforcement of the judgment and has also brought forth a diverse coalition of creditors who previously sued him for unrelated issues.
Freeman and Moss have accused Giuliani of abusing the bankruptcy system to avoid paying the damages, and are challenging his request to appeal the defamation case within his bankruptcy proceedings.
The next hearing in Giuliani's bankruptcy case is scheduled for January 31, 2024.
