Rudy Giuliani just lit himself on fire in his $43 million defamation case
told the January 6 committee they were forced to go into hiding over the deluge of vitriol, are seeking up to $43 million in damages.
On Monday, Giuliani’s attorney, Joseph Sibley IV, told Judge Beryl A. Howell the requested damages would be the “end” for his client.
Giuliani is millions of dollars in debt due to unpaid legal fees and other pending issues. In July, during a court hearing, a lawyer for Giuliani revealed he was “close to broke.” “There are a lot of bills that he’s not paying,” said Adam Katz. “From a $57,000 phone bill to significantly more.”With that in mind, one might assume that Giuliani would be on his best behavior.
Sibley indicated as much Monday at the start of the civil trial, opening with a contrite apology on his client’s behalf.He said they are “good people” and “don’t deserve” to face threats.
