Rudy Giuliani filed for bankruptcy in New York on Thursday, court records show.
In the filing, the former New York City mayor listed nearly $152 million in debts, including legal fees and unpaid taxes. He lists his assets at between $1 million and $10 million.
The filing comes one day after Giuliani, Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, was ordered to immediately pay $148 million in damages to two election workers he defamed.
The election workers, Ruby Freeman and daughter Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, won a defamation suit against Giuliani earlier this year. The attorney had falsely claimed that Freeman and Moss tampered with election results in Georgia’s Fulton County, leading to racist harassment and threats against the two Black women. The election workers said they were sent threatening letters and voicemails, targeted on social media with racist and violent posts and even confronted in person.
