Rudy Giuliani, the disgraced politician once known as “America’s Mayor” and now known as a punchline, is about to face the most disastrous court ruling of his life—and it will only get worse from there.
Giuliani is poised to get hit with a multimillion dollar ruling against him in D.C. over his baseless accusations of election fraud against two poll workers. After that civil trial concludes, he’ll turn around and begin preparing for a criminal trial in Atlanta, where he’s facing many of the same racketeering charges he once wielded as a federal prosecutor against mobsters in New York. And throughout it all, Giuliani has a long list of creditors, from former associates to contractors, who are also hounding him for money.
For Giuliani, 2023 will likely end in penniless defeat. But 2024 could be even worse—it could actually end with him in prison.
At the moment, the most immediate problem for Giuliani is his defamation suit. A jury in the nation’s capital has spent all week hearing about how the conspiracy-crazed attorney ruined the lives of two Georgia poll workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, a mother and daughter whom Giuliani falsely accused of secretly plotting to sabotage Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign.
