Giuliani Says He Had to Borrow From Trump Lawyer to Pay Taxes

[left-of-center2012]

Rudy Giuliani said he was forced to borrow $100,000 from President Donald Trump’s lawyer Marc Mukasey to pay his taxes after his wife tied up a joint bank account in their bitter divorce case. Giuliani, who has been working as a lawyer for Trump free of charge, discussed the loan outside New York state court in Manhattan after his wife’s lawyer raised it at a hearing on Thursday.

Giuliani, 75, argues his income is drying up as the divorce case drags on, and that $800,000 he’s made so far this year from other business ventures has been spent entirely on “marital expenses” tied to the couple’s lavish lifestyle. Giuliani said he still owes $10,000 to Mukasey, who used to be his law partner.

Giuliani’s lawyer, Faith Miller, told Katz that Judith Giuliani refuses to take a job to contribute to their estate, which is valued at about $30 million, including real estate and retirement accounts. “Ms. Giuliani testified she’s 64 and far too old to work,” Miller told the judge. “She’s a registered nurse. She refuses to do anything.”

Judith Giuliani came to court Thursday with allegations of her own. Her lawyer Bernard Clair renewed a claim that Rudy Giuliani was wrongfully deflating his income, including by turning down a high-paying job as a lawyer in February and squandering his money working for Trump. “Not only does he work for free, but all of his expenses every time he goes down to Washington, D.C., or travels with the president, it comes out of his own pocket,” Clair said at the hearing. “And he won’t say how much it’s costing him.”

2. Rudy Rudy Rudy.

You played the game and lost. Your Ex must have seen the light and said,Enough.

4. Another fine example of 'If he will do it with you, he will do it to you.'

And, as for her being a registered nurse - somehow I doubt she's kept her license or educational credits current.

My advice for Rudy would be to liquidate and settle into a quiet, down sized retirement. He's already ruined any shred of reputation and credibility he ever had, by his association with trump*.

Seriously, all I can do is

[MaryMagdaline]

5. And these are the people who want to raise the retirement age

Spend more time wasting money on divorce lawyers. You deserve each other.

6. Is this the first, second, or third "bitter divorce" for Rudy?

He keeps dumping one wife for the next, but it looks like now he's out of options.

He really works for Trump for free? Good lord.

9. Didn't he announce the divorce in a press conference?

Real classy — almost as good as Newt Gingrich getting his wife to sign divorce papers on her cancer death bed.

12. Yes, moved

His girl friend, Judith into one side of th Governor’s mansion while his wife and kids lived in the other.

You are quite the man, Rudy !NOT!

14. And if she agreed to this, she's as slimy as he is nt

11. 3rd.

8. Rudi: stop doing free work for your client. (You are a fool for doing it.) nt

[CatWoman]

10. wonder who gave the cash

For that god awful dye job?

[pnwmom]

13. With assets of $30 million, both of them are in a position for an extremely comfortable retirement.

Nobody has to work. Rudy should appreciate what his has, divide it in two, and go spend his remaining years on a beach somewhere.

Or in a prison cell. That wouldn't cost him much.

15. Oh, come on Rudy: You, of all people, a new yorker, knew frump never pays his invoices...

[USALiberal]

16. 30 million divided by 2 is 15 million each! Why would either need to work??? nt
