Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, a lawyer for President Donald Trump, speaks during a news conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping on legal challenges to vote counting in Pennsylvania, Nov. 7, 2020, in Philadelphia. A review panel says Giuliani should be disbarred in Washington for how he handled litigation challenging the 2020 election on behalf of then-President Donald Trump. The panel’s report was released Friday, July 7, 2023.
The one-time mayor of New York and stalwart Donald Trump supporter has been ordered by a federal judge to pay nearly $90,000 in attorneys’ fees for refusing to provide discovery in the case against him by two Georgia election workers. Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea “Shaye” Moss sued Giuliani in December 2021, alleging defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress resulting from his accusations that the women were engaging in voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election.
According to U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell, Giuliani’s apparent disregard for the discovery process will cost him.
“[D]efendant Giuliani is DIRECTED, by July 25, 2023, to reimburse plaintiffs $89,172.50 in attorneys’ fees incurred for plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel Discovery,” wrote Howell, a Barack Obama appointee, in an order Thursday. As the judge notes, Giuliani had been “previously directed” to pay the fees by July 7, 2023, and “by that deadline[,] defendant Giuliani had neither objected to nor requested an extension of time to respond or contest the reasonableness of plaintiffs’ requested attorneys’ fees.”
Is Trump going to loan him the money or pay him the money he owes him?
Trump discarded this fool like last week's trash.
