Rudy Giuliani’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection case was dismissed by a New York federal judge on Friday, laying him open to claims from creditors seeking repayment of substantial debts. The ruling comes days after Giuliani, a former Trump attorney, was disbarred by New York for spreading falsehoods about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane bashed Giuliani for failing to meet financial transparency obligations, barring him from refiling for one year. Among those seeking damages are Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, awarded $148 million for defamation by a federal jury. Giuliani and the workers agreed to dismiss the bankruptcy case, aiming to pursue an appeal of the defamation judgment. Giuliani faces additional felony charges in Georgia and Arizona linked to efforts to overturn President Trump’s 2020 election defeat. His spokesman criticized the bankruptcy process, vowing to continue seeking vindication.
