"I'm not even sure that Rudy Giuliani can afford to pay for Four Seasons landscaping right now," former DOJ official Neal Katyal said.
Rudy Giuliani might not have $148 million lying around, but that doesn’t mean he can shirk the latest blow to his finances, according to top legal experts.
Following a jury’s verdict at a federal courthouse in Washington, D.C., on Friday, the former Donald Trump attorney was ordered to pay the eye-popping sum to two Georgia election workers he defamed after the 2020 election.
The figure is broken up into $33 million for defamation, $75 million in punitive damages, and $40 million for emotional distress to Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Shaye Moss.
“Does he have $148 million? No, I’m not even sure that Rudy Giuliani can afford to pay for Four Seasons landscaping right now,” former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki on Sunday, referring to the infamous press conference Giuliani hosted for Trump in the parking lot of a landscaping business in the days following the 2020 vote.
“But nonetheless, I think whatever he’s got is now going to be seized by these two plaintiffs.”
