Rudy Giuliani Files for Bankruptcy after $148m Defamation Verdict

BBC: Rudy Giuliani, a longtime associate of former President Donald Trump, has filed for bankruptcy just days after he was ordered to pay $148m (£116m) in a defamation case.

He was ordered to pay the sum after a judge found he defamed two Georgia election workers over false claims they tampered with votes in 2020.

Mr Giuliani listed debts as high as $500m and assets of $10m in the filing.

A spokesman said the move should "be a surprise to no one". » | Bernd Debusmann Jr, BBC News, Washington | Thursday, December 21, 2023
