Giuliani, a former federal prosecutor and New York City mayor, was charged last month along with former U.S. President Trump and 17 co-defendants with trying to overturn Trump's 2020 election defeat to Democrat Joe Biden. Giuliani and other Trump allies are also accused of making false statements to Georgia lawmakers about the election. Trump waived a formal arraignment and pleaded not guilty on Thursday. In a separate case, a U.S. judge in Washington ruled on Wednesday that Giuliani is liable for defaming two Georgia election workers who were the target of vote-rigging conspiracy accusations following the 2020 presidential election. Giuliani will now face a civil trial in federal court in Washington to determine how much he will have to pay.

Langone contributed $4,600 to Giuliani's 2008 campaign for president, according to FEC records. This executive donated $2,300 to Giuliani's 2008 run for president, according to FEC records. Goodman did not say who is contributing to help Giuliani pay for his legal fees or how much those entities have raised. "I probably will," said Catsimatidis, who owns New York radio station WABC that employs Rudy Giuliani and his son. "I think people should help Rudy Giuliani.

REUTERS/Dustin Chambers/File Acquire Licensing Rights Read moreWASHINGTON, Aug 30 (Reuters) - Donald Trump's former lawyer Rudy Giuliani is liable for defaming two election workers in Georgia, a U.S. judge in Washington said on Wednesday. Judge Beryl Howell issued the order as a sanction against Giuliani for failing to turn over electronic records sought by the two election workers, Wandrea "Shaye" Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman, in the case. The judge's order means Giuliani will have to pay damages for spreading false vote-rigging claims against the pair following the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Giuliani will face a civil trial in Washington, D.C. federal court to determine how much he will have to pay.

The July indictment accused Mr. Trump, Mr. De Oliveira and Mr. Nauta of trying to delete Mar-a-Lago security footage. The government had requested a trial date in December, while Mr. Trump’s lawyers asked for an indefinite postponement. Once he was sworn in as president, Mr. Trump reimbursed Mr. Cohen. Rather than publish her account, the tabloid suppressed it in cooperation with Mr. Trump and Mr. Cohen, prosecutors say. Ms. Maddock, who has close ties to Mr. Trump and is married to Matt Maddock, a state representative, accused Ms. Nessel of “a personal vendetta.”“This is part of a national coordinated” effort to stop Mr. Trump, she added.

Former Mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani speaks to reporters as he leaves his apartment building in New York, Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2023. Former Trump campaign lawyer Rudy Giuliani landed in Atlanta on Wednesday to surrender on charges he conspired to illegally interfere with the legitimate outcome of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. Giuliani's lawyer, John Esposito, traveled with him to negotiate the amount and terms of the former New York City mayor's release bond with the Fulton County District Attorney's Office. Giuliani was somber when he spoke to reporters as he left his Manhattan apartment. "I'm feeling very, very good about it because I feel like I am defending the rights of all Americans, as I did so many times as a United States attorney," Giuliani said.

The motion also proposed a second option: that the federal court could simply issue an order barring Willis from arresting Meadows prior to next week's hearing. The order from Judge Steve Jones in U.S. District Court in Atlanta came shortly after Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis urged the judge to reject Meadows' request. A judge on Wednesday denied former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows' bid to quickly move the Georgia election interference case to federal court in order to avoid arrest . I gave 2 weeks for people to surrender themselves to the court," Willis wrote in an email Tuesday morning. Earlier Wednesday, Kenneth Chesebro, another co-defendant in the Georgia case, filed a motion in Fulton County Superior Court demanding a speedy trial.

Speaking in New York, Giuliani denied wrongdoing and defended Trump. Giuliani played a prominent public role in the Trump campaign's efforts to push false claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 election. Giuliani and other Trump allies were also accused of making false statements to Georgia lawmakers about the election. Ray Smith, a lawyer who previously represented Trump in Georgia, also surrendered on Wednesday. Trump also pleaded not guilty in a Manhattan case involving hush money paid before the 2016 election to a porn star.

Andrew Giuliani is the son of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who was indicted in Georgia along with Trump and 17 other defendants on charges of election interference. The event on Sept. 7 will feature a round table discussion with Trump and Rudy Giuliani, followed by a dinner with Rudy Giuliani, according to the invite. A person familiar with the gathering told CNBC that the September fundraising event at Trump's golf club is expected to have at least a dozen guests and raise close to $1 million. This person declined to be named in order to speak freely about private efforts to help Rudy Giuliani. "It is helpful that President Trump has agreed to headline two events, one on September 7 at Bedminster and another this winter at Mar-a-Lago, where we are getting strong donor interest," Andrew Giuliani told CNBC in a statement.

An ex-Giuliani staffer told Politico that Fani Willis will be a "superstar" if she convicts Trump. Giuliani during an appearance on Newsmax earlier this week firmly rejected Willis' use of RICO statutes in the Georgia case. Since November 2020, Trump has cast doubt on now-President Joe Biden's 2020 victory in Georgia, despite no evidence of voting irregularities and vote counts affirming the final results. After decades of GOP dominance on the presidential level, Georgia backed Biden by roughly 12,000 votes out of 5 million ballots cast. Shortly after the 2020 election, Trump pushed Gov.

Rudy Giuliani gained notoriety as a prosecutor for going after New York City mafias in the 1980s. Recently, he was indicted on RICO charges — the same prosecutorial tool he used to take down mafias. A lawyer who represented prominent New York mobsters said his clients are "fucking thrilled." "I don't want to say the language, but they really ripped Rudy a new a------," he told the outlet. Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who witnessed Giuliani's political rise in the city, also chimed in and told Politico that the indictment was "more than Shakespearean."

Giuliani helped Purdue Pharma strike a deal with the government to keep selling the drug. Purdue Pharma hired Giuliani back in 2002, representing the first client his consulting firm ever landed, The New York Times reported in 2007. By getting Brownlee to agree to prosecute the parent company, Purdue Frederick, rather than Purdue Pharma, Giuliani and his team were also able to prevent a ban against Purdue Pharma doing future business with the federal government, which manages public health programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and the Veterans Administration health system, The Guardian reported. Under our settlement, Purdue Pharma would cease to exist and Knoa Pharma, a newly formed company with a public-minded mission, would emerge. The settlement would deliver over $10 billion of value for opioid crisis abatement, overdose rescue medicines, and victim compensation."

They were the latest members of the former president’s inner circle to find out that associating with Trump could put them on cracking legal ice. There is increasing speculation over why Meadows was charged in Georgia but not in special counsel Jack Smith’s federal investigation into Trump’s election stealing efforts. Legal experts wonder whether he could be cooperating with that probe in a sign of peril for the former president. Trump’s inner circles have long faced legal problemsTrump’s co-defendants in the Georgia case are not the first to find out that the ex-president’s intolerance for the rules and conventions that normally constrain presidencies can lead them into treacherous waters. Trump once vowed to bring only “the best people” to Washington, but his acolytes often find themselves dragged into his legal storms.

But the Trump campaign and their affiliated committees ultimately did not honor that pledge, according to campaign finance records. Over more than two months, Giuliani served as the public face of Trump's election challenges, which ultimately failed. The money came in response to countless fundraising appeals that claimed it was needed to fund Trump's election challenges in court. Chesebro, for his part, told the House committee that the work he did for the Trump team was pro bono. But not a penny more from team Trump for their services.

The indictment bundles together several efforts by Mr. Trump and his allies to reverse the election results in Georgia. The two women served as election workers in Georgia in 2020 and were wrongfully accused of fraud by Mr. Trump and his allies. Patrick Labat, the Fulton County sheriff, said this month that unless he was told otherwise, Mr. Trump would be booked in the same way as any other defendant.

He and other Trump allies are also accused of making false statements to Georgia lawmakers about the election, including claims about vote counting errors by Dominion voting machines. SIDNEY POWELLAttorney Sidney Powell played a leading role in promoting false fraud claims after the 2020 U.S. election. She became an adviser to Trump on fraud claims after the election. The indictment alleges that Ellis was part of an effort to get false electors appointed by state lawmakers in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania. The indictment claims he was in touch with those organizing a meeting of the fake Trump electors in Georgia.

“He is having financial difficulties,” Giuliani’s lawyers said in a filing this month in a civil defamation case brought by two Georgia election workers against him. The criminal charges that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis brought against Trump, Giuliani and 17 others will undoubtedly add to the former mayor’s legal bills. Giuliani wanted to search the records so he could respond in each of the election-related lawsuits, according to court filings. By May, Giuliani was more than $320,000 behind in payments to the document hosting company, according to a sworn statement he made in court. The New York state judge overseeing Smartmatic’s defamation case has a hearing set for Wednesday.

If the former president or his co-defendants are convicted of the RICO charges in Georgia, they could face between five and 20 years behind bars. Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Harris, who has embraced a more combative role as President Joe Biden's re-election campaign kicks into gear, took a swipe at Republicans who have blocked Democrats' proposed gun safety laws, saying such changes are no threat to Americans' constitutional gun rights. Gun rights groups have fought any legislative attempt to curb those rights, calling them an infringement on the Constitution, even as most Americans say they favor stronger gun laws. Harris was speaking at Everytown's "Gun Sense University" in Chicago, an annual event where activists and survivors of gun violence, many of them members of the 10 million-strong "Moms Demand Action" group, gather for training and political organizing. On Thursday, four major gun safety groups, including Everytown, endorsed Biden's 2024 re-election bid, which unlocks donations by the interest groups' political action groups. Makayla Jordan, a 19-year-old member of Students Demand Action, said mass shootings are just one part of the country's "everyday" gun violence epidemic.

The approach by Smartmatic mimics what Giuliani has faced in another defamation lawsuit related to the 2020 election. After the 2020 election, Smartmatic sued Fox News, its parent corporation, several of its on-air hosts, Giuliani, and other pro-Trump entities and figures. The right-wing network paid $787 million to settle a similar lawsuit earlier this year from another electronic voting company, Dominion Voting Systems. The Smartmatic case is one of several fronts where Giuliani is facing intense legal scrutiny. The judge in that case has previously warned Giuliani that he might face severe sanctions for discovery-related issues that are similar to his alleged stonewalling in the Smartmatic case.

All of this frenzied activity unfolding on one day represents just a snapshot of the complex legal morass now surrounding Trump. And while Monday was notable for a head-spinning sequence of legal maneuvering, it did not even encompass all of the pending cases against Trump. When it comes to Smith’s indictment, Trump’s lawyers are arguing that he was within his rights to claim the election was stolen. Trump’s legal plight reverberates in 2024 campaignAny normal political candidate would have seen their political ambitions crushed by even one of the cases in Trump’s bulging portfolio of legal jeopardy. Thanks to Trump’s unfathomable and widening legal nightmare, nothing about the 2024 election is going to be anywhere near normal.

The same panel on Aug. 1 charged Trump with four felony counts related to his attempt to reverse President Joe Biden' s victory over him. NBC News reported that multiple members of the grand jury were seen around the E. Barrett Prettyman Courthouse in Washington. An attorney for the Trump ally lawyer John Eastman last week confirmed that Eastman was likely the second co-conspirator described in the indictment. Kerik's lawyer said the interview centered on the role that Trump campaign lawyer Rudy Giuliani played in the attempt to overturn the 2020 election results. The Trump indictment details the work of a co-conspirator who appears to be Giuliani.

CNN —Donald Trump ally Bernie Kerik met Monday with special counsel Jack Smith’s investigators who are handling the probe related to the 2020 election aftermath and the January 6, 2021, insurrection. The interview largely focused on what Trump’s former attorney Rudy Giuliani did to prove that really won the election, Kerik’s attorney told CNN. Kerik’s and his attorney were spotted by CNN arriving Monday morning and leaving after roughly five hours. Kerik, the former New York City police commissioner, is a longtime associate of Giuliani and coordinated with him during the contentious post-election period. He pleaded not guilty to all charges, including conspiring to obstruct the 2020 election certification and conspiring to deprive Americans of the right to have their votes accurately counted.

Not only did this help to slow down skyrocketing housing costs, it inspired a bipartisan, nationwide expansion of the policy. Home prices in Auckland, New Zealand's biggest city, doubled between 2009 and 2016 and prices across the rest of the country followed close behind. "A typical New Zealand city looks a lot like a typical US city," Gray said. There are three models of housing construction in US cities right now, Gray said. "In terms of an overall objective, I think bringing down house prices to construction costs is an ultimate sign of housing abundance."

Per Axios, the Biden administration will take a hardline approach to remote work for federal workers. The White House chief of staff said federal workers should return to offices by September or October. The policy shift follows a pledge that Biden made during his March 2022 State of the Union speech. According to a new report by Axios, citing an email sent from Biden's chief of staff Jeff Zients to cabinet members, Zients said that federal workers would aim to return to in-person work between September and October. As it stands, Biden's administration is seeking to buck a trend upheld by the administrations of Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and his own, where federal offices have downsized over time and digitized more records.

Former NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg thinks federal workers should not work from home. "Some people argue that remote work for federal employees isn't a problem. "In the private sector, if remote workers do a poor job, business suffers and customers take their spending elsewhere. At Bloomberg LP, more than 80% of employees work in the office at least three days a week, as requested, he added. In a May interview with CNBC, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk went so far as to say remote work is "morally wrong."
