Rudy Giuliani, once President Trump’s right-hand man, has launched a bombshell lawsuit against President Joe Biden and several related campaign entities. The reason? Giuliani claims Biden tarnished his reputation with false accusations back in 2020, as reported by UPI on October 4, 2023.
Amidst a slew of legal entanglements, including multiple felony charges related to the 2020 presidential election, Giuliani’s newest legal venture centers on President Biden’s fiery comments from a 2020 debate, where he labeled Giuliani a “Russian pawn” in receipt of misleading intelligence from Russia.
Giuliani fired back, “He called me a Russian operative. That is false.”
The former New York City mayor’s legal maze continues to deepen. Recently, a verdict by Federal Judge Beryl Howell held Giuliani accountable for defaming Georgia election officials, slapping him with a whopping $133,000 in sanctions.
As per an article from CNN on October 4, 2023, Additionally, turmoil brews in Giuliani’s defense team as Brian Tevis, a key lawyer, has opted to withdraw from an election-related conspiracy case in Georgia. Making matters even messier, previous attorneys Giuliani are knocking on his door over unpaid bills.
While facing an astounding 13 charges in the Georgia case, which accuses him of trying to manipulate 2020 election results, Giuliani’s bank account is also under siege. Dominion Voting Systems, a leading tech company, has filed a jaw-dropping $1.3 billion lawsuit against him for allegedly spreading false narratives about their voting machinery.
With the latest defamation lawsuit against President Biden, Giuliani’s intricate legal web further intensifies. The fallout from this lawsuit could dramatically alter the futures of both Giuliani and President Biden in the 2020 election’s extended shadow.
