Mr Giuliani filed for bankruptcy last month after he was ordered to pay $148m to Georgia election workers he defamed

Donald Trumpā€™s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani has listed a claim against the one-term president over unpaid legal fees in a new bankruptcy filing.

The ex-New York City mayor includes a ā€œpossible claim for unpaid legal fees against Donald J Trump.ā€ in the 26 January filing, which states that the amount is ā€œundetermined.ā€

Mr Giuliani filed for bankruptcy last month, days after a federal judge ordered him to ā€œimmediatelyā€ pay more than $148m to a pair of Georgia election workers a jury determined he defamed.

Mr Giuliani represented Mr Trump in a string of unsuccessful lawsuits contesting the results of the 2020 election that he lost to Joe Biden.

Mr Trumpā€™s legal fees owed to Mr Giuliani have previously been reported. The New York Times wrote in August 2023 that ā€œMr Trump has never explicitly told Mr Giuliani why he is effectively stiffing him, but the former president has pointed out that he lost the cases related to the election.ā€

        Alright, this is the only Trump nickname I can actually fuck with. All the other ones are pretty cringe to me, but this one I like.

          Not even Cheeto Mussolini?

          OJC is pretty solid though. Especially while his buddies are (possibly) stabbing him in the back.

      I thought that was funny, so I checked the source again, leaving me disappointed - feeling that they were just providing context for international readers.

      Am I wrong (it was indeed a jab over the Stop The Steal mindset)?

        The article, if I recall, used multiple such phrases in lieu of pronouns and articles just to make the story flow a little more nicely.

        Still made me snort.
