Mr Giuliani filed for bankruptcy last month after he was ordered to pay $148m to Georgia election workers he defamed

Donald Trump’s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani has listed a claim against the one-term president over unpaid legal fees in a new bankruptcy filing.

The ex-New York City mayor includes a “possible claim for unpaid legal fees against Donald J Trump.” in the 26 January filing, which states that the amount is “undetermined.”

Mr Giuliani filed for bankruptcy last month, days after a federal judge ordered him to “immediately” pay more than $148m to a pair of Georgia election workers a jury determined he defamed.

Mr Giuliani represented Mr Trump in a string of unsuccessful lawsuits contesting the results of the 2020 election that he lost to Joe Biden.

Mr Trump’s legal fees owed to Mr Giuliani have previously been reported. The New York Times wrote in August 2023 that “Mr Trump has never explicitly told Mr Giuliani why he is effectively stiffing him, but the former president has pointed out that he lost the cases related to the election.”

    Noam Chomsky also told us to mind our own business and shut up, when asked about his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein.

      I thought you were joking. But after Googling, he had some associations with Epstein 😲

        Many people have met Epstein etc and have done nothing shady, those people generally come out and say they only met him for dinner, etc. Chomsky didn’t say “I barely knew him and met for dinner” or some defense. When asked, Chomsky said “none of your business what my dealings with Epstein were” which to me is very damning

      You’re not wrong, but context is important. Jerkass interviewer trying to force a gotcha moment runs with “he told me to shut up! Omg guilty”

      Epstein sleazed around a LOT of places, notably science and university circles. Bill Barr’s dad knows.

      I prefer to bag on Chomsky for not supporting Ukraine.
