After that, Rudy Giuliani’s back is against the wall ordered to hand over Almost all of his assets, being disbarred as a lawyer and facing possible jail time – but he’s still not ready to give up.
As part of the $148 million judgment against him, the former New York mayor, mob prosecutor and Donald Trump ally was asked to surrender his worldly goods by October 22 so that it could be given to two Georgia election workers. However, a judge ruled that he had committed defamation.
These so far include his $5.7 million Upper East Side condo, his Mercedes that previously belonged to Lauren Bacall, and his watch collection.
“(The judge) wants to take away my only vehicle which is 44 years old and falling into disrepair. I am not materialistic at all but he wants to take the watch given by my father? He wants to take the watch that was given to me from a family member of a firefighter who died on 9/11? Giuliani told The Post.
However, even though the deadline has passed, he told The Post he still doesn’t have the keys to his Manhattan apartment or car — and he’s refusing to give up some other items he wants.
Depending on how the judge rules, this could potentially include his $3.5 million Florida condo In Palm Beach.
He also faces two criminal charges for allegedly interfering in the 2020 election, which could see him jailed, and he admits he is hardly in the best shape physically, He said: “I’m 80 years old, I have bad knees and lungs related to 9/11 disease.”
But don’t cry for Rudy.
Rudy Giuliani has been ordered to surrender as part of a $148 million judgment against him:
- Their 10th-floor, three-bedroom co-op at 45 East 66th Street is a historic building.
- 26 designer watches, two of which were given to him by the then presidents of France and Italy after the 9-11 attacks and one by his grandfather and namesake Rudolfo.
- A signed photo of Yankees slugger Reggie Jackson and a signed 1951 jersey by baseball great Joe DiMaggio.
- A 1980 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL convertible, which has 80,000 miles on it, is what Giuliani says is his last remaining vehicle and was once owned by movie star Lauren Bacall.
- His television and various items of furniture from his apartment.
He still knows how to work a crowd, as he showed madison square garden sunday During a Trump rally when he shouted “Rudy!” Came out to address the crowd amid cheers. Rudy! Rudy! We love you, Rudy!”
Several people close to Giuliani also told The Post that he remains a beloved and respected figure, whether he’s on the streets of Manhattan, Palm Beach — or even Europe.
“People love him,” said a source close to the Giuliani family. “They call him Mr. Mayor and say they wish he would come back and clean up New York again. It is only the media that makes them villains.
Giuliani agreed.
“If you spend two days walking down the street with me here in Florida or New York, you’ll see how people really respond to me,” Giuliani said. “I can’t walk down the street without at least three people coming up to me and thanking me.”
Relations with his 35-year-old daughter, film producer Caroline Giuliani, are a little more strained.
She recently denigrated him and Trump in a Vanity Fair essay, titled: “Trump took my dad away from me. Please don’t let him take over our country too.”
Caroline Giuliani announced her support for Kamala Harris in the election, writing, “Nothing I have experienced has prepared me for the public and sustained implosion of my father’s life.”
Giuliani told The Post that he talks to Caroline every other day and loves her, even if he disagrees with her opinion of him.
“She is my daughter and even though I think she is wrong about me, nothing can diminish my love for her. However, I have to say that one mistake I would have made is sending him to Harvard,” he said.
Giuliani has previously attacked Columbia as well as Harvard after their campuses were filled with anti-Israel protesters earlier this year and they did nothing to stop anti-Semitism among students.
“Who hates Jews more, Harvard or Columbia?” he asked during his radio show on WABC at the time.
Rudy’s son, Andrew, 38, still strongly supports his father, but he declined to comment for this article only because he’s struggling to stop Four New York Yankees World Series championship rings were issued for 1996, 1998. The winning seasons of 1999 and 2000 are included as part of the federal decision.
Both father and son have said that Rudy gave the rings, which they say were made for him by late Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, to Andrew. In 2007, Rudy told the New York Times that he had bought them for $16,000.
During his wide-ranging interview, Giuliani acknowledged that he was slightly bloodied, but did not appear to be shaken. He was by turns defiant and happy-go-lucky. He may be 80, but he makes good use of his reputation as a talker five nights a week on X with his two-year-old show, “America’s Mayors Live.”
His alleged girlfriend, former hospital executive Maria Ryan, can be heard in the background of The Post’s call with Giuliani.
Rudy has long insisted that the two are just friends and “business partners”, but her frequently co-hosting his nightly live broadcasts with him has raised eyebrows.
As The post revealedRyan is actually married to another man, Bob Ryan, whom Rudy claims is his close friend.
Nevertheless, Rudy’s former employee Noel Dunphy claims in an ongoing sexual assault and harassment lawsuit against him that she admitted to having an affair with Ryan for two years, but said she would never leave her husband. According to The IndependentRyan has not commented publicly on that allegation.
However, she accompanied Giuliani for his broadcast on Monday night, where they discussed the countdown to the election. The same day he posted a photo on Instagram with firebrand Tucker Carlson, who also spoke at Sunday’s Trump rally, saying they had “a spirited discussion about the future of our country.”
Giuliani is also celebrating the release of his new book, titled, “The Biden Crime Family: A Blueprint for Their Prosecution,The book’s foreword has been written by Trump’s former adviser Steve Bannon, who was released from prison this week.
However, Judge Lewis Lyman of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled that Giuliani must turn over all of his personal property “including cash accounts, jewelry and valuables, including legal claims for unpaid attorneys’ fees.”
The ruling is in favor of Ruby Freeman and mother and daughter Shay Moss, who won a Georgia lawsuit against them.
Lamenting his situation and being disbarred in New York and Washington DC for trying to overturn the election this year, he said: “I have no assets, the crooked NY Bar Association took away my ability to earn a living.
“I didn’t do anything wrong. I never broke any law. “In stark contrast, I have a long record of championing the law and have prosecuted some of the most important cases of the 20th century.”
Giuliani plans to appeal the case in January and said his assets will be placed in receivership with lawyers for the new US administration pending the outcome of the appeal.
“I’m refusing to make certain things available like my grandfather’s 140-year-old clock that was left to me because I’m named after him,” Giuliani said. “The search for this proves how punitive Biden is towards me.
“I am also refusing to give them the watch given to me by the 9-11 widow that means so much to me and her.”
Giuliani also said he is not giving his signature to the Fed Joe DiMaggio Jersey.
“He told me he was leaving it to me because I was his hero because I crushed the organization he hated more than anything else in the world: the Mafia.
“I’m not saying it’s true but he was convinced that Sinatra and the Mafia had something to do with Marilyn Monroe’s death.”
However, not everyone on Team Giuliani is so optimistic about his apparent downfall.
“I am saddened by the predicament he finds himself in,” veteran criminal defense attorney Arthur Aidala told The Post.
Aidala’s firm has represented Giuliani for four years and is doing pro bono work for him in Georgia, where Giuliani is a Alleged unnamed co-conspirator In a federal indictment against Trump.
“I’m really trying to help them,” said Aidala, a registered Democrat. Who has represented everyone from Harvey Weinstein to Anthony Weiner,
“When I spend time with him, it feels like a gift. He is very knowledgeable and very few people on planet Earth have his experience. Apparently the courts have ruled against him several times. He is a fighter. He fought for years as attorney general and mayor.
“I would never count him out,” Aidala said. “But time is not on his side. It’s not like he’s 42 years old. I think Mr. Gianni will find a way to live comfortably. He changed the lives of many people for the better. But at his age many of his potential patrons had passed away.
Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa said Giuliani’s enemies “will remain relentless” – but will never be able to erase his legacy.
“He saved New York City at a time when we had 2,000 murders and 10,000 shootings every year,” Sliwa told The Post. “Nobody remembers how bad it was at that time. He was also America’s mayor in 911, when no one knew where even the President and Vice President were. Everyone depended on Rudy.
“Rudy got this position because anyone aligned with Trump is treated like Trump. Rudy has been banished from the town he saved. Both Giuliani and Trump were forced out of the city where they were from and where they built their reputations.
