Matt Gaetz hatched a last-minute plan to become Trump’s attorney general

Amazingly, the $148 million debt is just the tip of the iceberg for Giuliani’s legal troubles. In the past year, Trump’s former lawyer has unsuccessfully filed for bankruptcy, lost his accountant over his insurmountable debts, entreated Trump for help to pay his seven-figure legal fees (he refused), had his WABC radio show canceled for spewing lies about the 2020 election and miserably starting his own coffee brand“Rudy Coffee”, in an effort to attract some extra cash. He eventually lost his bankruptcy case because of his strange spending habits, with the presiding judge in New York branding the former mayor of the city as “recalcitrant debtor.”

Giuliani is also under the gun for a process from his former legal representation, who accused him of failing to pay his bill and allegedly paying only $214,000 of nearly $1.6 million in legal fees. Giuliani, meanwhile, claimed he was stiff by his favorite client, Trump, worth millions of dollars.

But wait, there’s more: The MAGA servant is also one of 19 co-defendants in the Georgia election meddling case and was named in April in a Arizona indictment still charging a slew of Republican officials and Trump allies for their alleged involvement in a scheme to overturn the state’s 2020 presidential election results. In October, an Arizona judge set fire to a legal filing Giuliani made in the case, acting that the former Trump adviser had “not a shred” of evidence to question the legitimacy of a grand jury assigned to his trial.
