Rudy Giuliani, Estranged Wife Argue in Court Over His Free Trump Legal Work

The Daily Beast
By Victoria Bekiempis 11 hrs ago

Rudy Giuliani is providing gratis legal work for President Donald Trump to shortchange estranged wife Judith Nathan Giuliani, her lawyer said Thursday during a proceeding in their increasingly acrimonious divorce.

“Not only is he working pro bono for the president, for this individual, but it’s costing him money,” said Bernard Clair, who represents Judith. “Not only does he work for free, but all of his expenses, every time he goes down to Washington, D.C., every time he travels for the president… it comes out of his own pocket.”

“When he’s going to work for the president, he bundles, for lack of a better word, clients from his other businesses” to defray these costs, including a recent trip to Warsaw, Poland, Clair said.

Clair said Giuliani’s work for Trump is meant to lead the court to “believe he somehow doesn’t have money.” The lawyer added that Giuliani spent “over one million on credit cards” but “says ‘woe is me’ financially… ‘I don’t have any money left.’”

Giuliani borrowed $100,000 from Marc Mukasey, another one of Trump’s lawyers and has paid back some $90,000, Clair said.

Judith filed for divorce from the former New York City mayor in April 2018, after 15 years of marriage. Allegations that Giuliani has been holding out on her have been an ongoing theme of the divorce proceedings.

Your relationship started off on such a promising note, what with the cheating and the adultery and the public humiliation of the previous Mrs. Giuliani, and now here you are, kvetching to a judge about what a low-down four-flusher you married. Sad for all concerned!

If Judith Nathan Giuliani thinks she can more successful than thousands of contractors and professional to whom Trump owes money, God speed!
