Rudy Begs Court Not to Collect His Unpaid Legal Fees from Trump

Trump stiffed him.

In his initial filing for bankruptcy to attempt to delay the collection of the massive defamation judgment obtained by Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shay Moss, Rudy Giuliani was forced to admit that the Trump campaign owed him $2 million in unpaid legal fees. Now he is begging a court not to collect that money since it will make it look like he is suing Trump right before the election.

The bankruptcy court recently dismissed his case as being fraudulently filed in an attempt to simply delay collection of the judgment. So now the case is back in court with the plaintiffs attempting to seize Rudy's assets without delay. Rudy filed a motion today regarding his most substantial assets - one of which are the legal fees he accrued trying to overturn the 2020 election for Trump. Trump never paid him a single dollar for his work.

In the filing, Rudy objects to the confiscation of his Florida condo on grounds that there is already a pending motion regarding that. Rudy attempted to claim in bankruptcy court that he needed that condo because that's where he performs his radio show which was his primary source of income, but he was fired from his radio show while that case was pending.

Giuliani also consented to a receiver conducting the sale of his New York apartment since his real estate broker to this point has not sold it.

Finally, he asks that the court delay enforcement of the $2 million owed by Trump until the day after the election. He says that should be done because there will be a "media frenzy" if Trump is forced to pay Rudy the money he has owed him for three years, and it will make it look like Rudy is suing Trump right before the election for stiffing him.

Well, that's what happened so deal with it. 

Finally, Rudy asks the court not to sell certain items of special value to him. He argues that he might be able to win his case on appeal, but if these one-of-kind items are sold by the court to pay Freeman and Moss, he will never be able to get them back. These include:

- A watch given to him by the President of France after 9/11.

- A 1980s Mercedes previously owned by Lauren Bacall.

- A watch owned by his grandfather.

Rudy is correct. It will make headlines if the court attached a $2 million lien to Trump's campaign account or PAC for stiffing him for his legal fees from three years ago. It should be headlines now.
