Rudy Giuliani, facing a $148 million verdict in a civil defamation trial, accused by election workers without evidence, is in a financial bind. Legal analyst Lisa Rubin explains on MSNBC that despite Giuliani’s reported financial troubles, the pursuit for his assets won’t waver.
Can they guarantee those numbers? asks anchor Alicia Menendez.
Not at all, Rubin responds. Giuliani, once a high-earning consultant and private lawyer, saw those days end after 9/11. Becoming Donald Trump’s lawyer seemed a desperate move due to the decline in his financial prospects.
Rubin reveals Giuliani’s $6.1 million city apartment is up for sale, but the extent of his other assets remains unknown. Giuliani’s non-cooperation in discovery raises questions about what assets may be hidden. Rubin emphasizes that although Giuliani may play a shell game, the pursuit of his assets will likely catch up with him, even if not reaching the astronomical figures presented in the verdict.
