Rudy Giuliani owes 'hundreds of thousands of dollars' in legal fees after representing Trump: report
Former President Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who was indicted by a Fulton County Superior Court grand jury Monday along with the 2024 MAGA hopeful and 17 others on charges related to attempting to overturn the 2020 election, is drowning in debt, according to CNN.
Per the report, the former New York mayor is facing "hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal bills and sanctions" after representing the ex-President.
"He is having financial difficulties," the ex-mayor's "lawyers said in a filing this month in a civil defamation case brought by two Georgia election workers against" Guiliani. He "needs more time to pay the attorneys' fees and would like the opportunity to seek an extension from the Court," they said.

CNN reports:
Not including standard legal fees, Giuliani faces nearly $90,000 in sanctions from a judge in a defamation case, a $20,000 monthly fee to a company to host his electronic records, $15,000 or more for a search of his records, and even a $57,000 judgment against his company for unpaid phone bills.
His attorneys, according to the news outlet, insist that "producing a detailed financial report is only meant to embarrass Mr. Giuliani and draw attention to his misfortunes."
CNN also notes, the ex-Trump lawyer's "financial situation is likely to become even more difficult to navigate in the coming days. He faces potentially perilous court decisions against him in two 2020 election defamation lawsuits as early as this week."
