Rudy Giuliani claims Trump campaign owes him $2M in legal fees over election challenge

Embattled former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani says the Trump 2020 campaign and the Republican National Committee still owe him $2 million in legal fees for challenging the former president’s election loss.

Giuliani, 79, said during a bankruptcy court hearing Wednesday that the former president asked him to spearhead legal matters for the campaign in November 2020 — the same month Trump lost to President Biden.

“Once I took over, it was my understanding that I would be paid by the campaign for my legal work and my expenses to be paid,” he told the Manhattan federal bankruptcy trustee overseeing his case from December, according to a report by Mediaite.

You’d think. After all, he’s a lawyer, right?

He has certainly gotten screwed over because he has supported Trump.

I don’t think that means he has a claim against Trump. But, if Trump had excess campaign funds he could pay some of these supporters’ legal bills.

The article said Giuliani had 5 other lawsuits pending against him. The Democrats are vengeful and cruel.

There is a huge number of ordinary Americans, now rotting in prison, getting screwed over much worse because they supported Trump.

Free the J6ers!

As I said on a similar thread last night, I believe one has to claim future salary owed when you file bankruptcy. The court wants to know what your debts, and assets are, which include salary owed to you.

The line of unpaid lawyers starts on the right, Rudy.

How does one get paid when they haven't even invoiced an exact number?

His loyalty to Trump has cost him dearly.

It cost him everything. If Trump does not take his calls now that would be outrageous to me.
