☆ Giuliani ordered to hand over New York City apartment, Mercedes, luxury watches to defamation victims
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-22 | by ( Kevin Breuninger | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

The 1980 Mercedes was previously owned by famed actress Lauren Bacall, for instance, and one of the watches belonged to Giuliani's grandfather. Another watch was gifted to Giuliani by the president of France after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, when Giuliani was mayor of New York City. Giuliani repeatedly targeted the two women with false election fraud claims as part of his efforts to overturn Trump's loss to President Joe Biden in the 2020 election. Giuliani filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition to shield himself from sudden financial ruin, but a New York federal bankruptcy judge dismissed his case. Attorneys for Freeman and Moss had noted in a previous court filing that, "Before filing for bankruptcy, Mr. Giuliani had listed the New York Apartment for $5.7 million."

The 37-year-old is from Hasbaya, a town about six miles from Lebanon’s southern border with Israel. Israeli strikes near the town are happening every day as part of the ongoing war with Hezbollah. Just over one year ago, Hezbollah launched rockets at Israeli positions across the border in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. Israel responded in a war that has killed more than 2,400 Lebanese and displaced over 1 million. Hamdan’s father, Ismail, a former Army general, was witness to multiple Israeli invasions and an 18-year occupation of southern Lebanon, including Hasbaya.

But the influx of hikers has led to concerns about overcrowding and safety, especially in popular spots in New Hampshire. State park officials are excited to see so many people enjoying the outdoors, but they urge hikers — both new and experienced — to come prepared and be respectful of nature and others on the trails. Oliver Pierson, director of forestry for Vermont’s Agency of Natural Resources, highlighted the importance of common sense and communication on busy trails. “It’s really about being respectful and enjoying both the scenery and your fellow hikers,” Pierson said.

☆ Trump or Harris? Here are the 2024 stakes for airlines, banks, EVs, health care and more

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris face off in the ABC presidential debate on Sept. 10, 2024. The previous Trump administration didn't pursue those types of consumer protections. In contrast, Democrats, including Harris, have historically supported EVs and incentives such as those under the Biden administration's signature Inflation Reduction Act. Meanwhile, Harris, if elected, can build on existing efforts of the Biden administration to deliver savings to more patients, they said. Trump also led multiple efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, including its expansion of Medicaid to low-income adults.

Destroyed buildings lie in ruin in central Gaza, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, near the Israel-Gaza border, as seen from Israel, on Jan. 13, 2024. At least 24 people were killed and 93 others wounded when Israeli airstrikes targeted a mosque and a school sheltering displaced people in the Gaza Strip early on Sunday morning, the Hamas-run Gaza government media office said. The strikes on the mosque and the school, near the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, came as the war between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas in the enclave approaches its first anniversary. Israel's subsequent military assault on Gaza has killed nearly 42,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's health ministry. It has also displaced nearly all of the enclave's 2.3 million people, caused a hunger crisis and led to genocide allegations at the World Court that Israel denies.
