Bankrupt Giuliani Regrets Not Applying for Government Pension

The former New York mayor faces financial strain following a $148 million defamation lawsuit and ongoing legal battles.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who recently filed for bankruptcy, expressed regret for not applying for a government pension which could have provided him with $26,000 in annual payments after turning 62.
Giuliani's bankruptcy filing comes after a court ordered him to pay $148 million to two Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea Moss, whom he defamed by falsely claiming they colluded to steal the election.
Giuliani, who also served as the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, is not receiving a federal pension for his six years in that role or other government work.
Giuliani's bankruptcy filing lists estimated assets of between $1 million and $10 million along with liabilities of $100 million to $500 million.
Giuliani is also facing another legal battle in Georgia, where he stands accused of attempting to illegally overturn the results of the 2020 election in Fulton County.
