Rudy Giuliani is having trouble finding someone to help him with his accounting in his bankruptcy case and may have to do it himself, his lawyers said in a filing Tuesday.
According to the filing, Giuliani had an accountant help him fulfill his accounting obligations in the case, but “he indicated that he had changed his mind and no longer wanted to help prepare monthly operating reports.”
Giuliani said he had asked “several accounting firms” for help, but “no one seemed interested in taking on the job.”
Former New York City Mayor Giuliani filed for bankruptcy last December, just days after a jury ordered him to pay a whopping $148 million to two former Georgia election officials who falsely claimed he committed election fraud in 2020.
In the months leading up to his bankruptcy filing, Giuliani defended himself against mounting legal challenges stemming from his role in former President Trump’s effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Tuesday’s filing was intended to explain why Giuliani did not file an operating report for April.
His attorney spoke with Guiliani about preparing operational reports as needed and said future reports will be filed in a timely manner.
Giuliani, who as a prosecutor famously used the Racketeering and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) to crack down on the mob, is currently facing RICO charges in Georgia. Along with 18 other defendants, he surrendered in late August to 13 changes in his bid to keep Trump in power.
Most recently, an Arizona grand jury indicted Giuliani on a felony charge of attempting to block the lawful transfer of power in 2020. Prosecutors accuse Giuliani and others of devising a plan to sound the alarm about false claims of election fraud so Arizona election officials could overturn them. result.
