Rudy Giuliani announces shock career move as his legal woes get worse
Rudy Giuliani is considering another run for mayor of New York City as his legal troubles continue to mount.
The 80-year-old Giuliani was the beloved Republican mayor of the Big Apple between 1994 and 2001 and is now reportedly considering a third term.
Trump’s former lawyer was nicknamed “America’s Mayor” for his handling of the September 11 terrorist attacks, but his career and reputation have since tanked after he began working as Donald Trump’s fixer.
Speaking to the New York Post Over the weekend, Giuliani said, “There are a lot of people who want me to run for mayor.” He added: ‘It’s unlikely. I’m not going to say: never, never, never.’
He is currently facing sexual assault, harassment and unpaid wage claims from a former assistant.
Giuliani has also been ordered to turn over his Manhattan penthouse and his classic Mercedes to election workers in Georgia, whom he has defamed after challenging Donald Trump’s 2020 election defeat.

Giuliani’s legal and criminal troubles come despite the fact that he is credited with helping clean up the Big Apple from the crime-ridden lows of the 1970s and 1980s.
Under his leadership, overall crime fell by 56 percent, murder by 66 percent, and the city once considered the nation’s crime capital became, according to the FBI, the safest big city in America.
However, the former mayor fell out of favor when he continued to spread lies about Trump’s 2020 election loss and was disbarred by a New York court.
He was indicted in Maricopa County, Arizona, for allegedly pressuring election officials to change the results of the 2020 election.
Giuliani was in court Wednesday for a hearing on the case by Noelle Dunphy, who has accused him of assault, harassment and unpaid wages.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Nicholas Moyne yelled at the disgraced lawyer several times and asked him to stop talking as he railed against Dunphy, whose lawyer called the situation “outrageous.”
‘Sir. Giuliani, you’re going to hurt yourself by doing this, okay? So I’m going to protect you from yourself right now,” Judge Moyne finally said, as reported by police Daily news.
The Republican served as mayor of the Big Apple from 1994 to 2001 and was once named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year for his leadership during the September 11 terrorist attacks.

“These are not legal arguments you’re making right now… These are personal attacks, and this is not the time for that, okay? I’m not going to allow it, I’m sorry. I have tried to treat you with respect and respect, but you must follow my rules.”
On October 28, he made racist comments about Haitian migrants in an unhinged tirade during an appearance on the Flyover Conservatives podcast on Rumble.
Giuliani said Haitian migrants “should not have been taken out of the jungle and put in the middle of a small town in America,” claiming Haitians “lived 200 years ago.”
A federal judge previously ordered Giuliani to give all his valuable assets to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, a mother and daughter who won a $148 million defamation judgment against him.
He filed for bankruptcy reorganization in December, days after the former election workers won their defamation case.
New York’s current mayor, Eric Adams, was recently indicted on federal charges of bribery, fraud and soliciting foreign campaign donations.

Adams is also accused of defrauding New York taxpayers of $10 million through allegedly fraudulent campaign funds.
He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment, claiming he did nothing wrong after becoming the first mayor in the city’s history to face criminal charges while in office.
The Democrat has refused to resign and said he still plans to seek re-election in 2025. Daily news from New York.
‘Everyone who runs for mayor looks like he or she comes from Red China. They don’t look American,” Giuliani said. “I’m concerned that the city will become a democratic dictatorship.”
“The only time since Fiorello LaGuardia a century ago that city government was honest was under me and Mike Bloomberg. “If you don’t have a Republican or independent mayor, you’re going to have corruption at City Hall.”
