'No regrets': Giuliani makes bizarre link between defamation trial and Japanese internment

0

Former President Donald Trump's ally Rudy Giuliani is in a dire financial situation as he faces being stripped of his assets to pay a $148 million defamation judgment to Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.

But he isn't sorry about any of it, he told CNN's Kaitlan Collins on Tuesday.

“I have no regrets at all. I’m on the side of justice, right and truth,” said Giuliani, who gave the interview on the floor of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. He went on to say that his legal situation is like “the Japanese internment during the second war.”

Giuliani, a former federal prosecutor and mayor of New York City, falsely claimed that Freeman and Moss were working to stuff ballots in Atlanta, at one point suggesting one passed the other a USB drive full of fake ballots, which turned out to just be a ginger mint. He lost the case by default after he didn't even mount a defense.

He initially tried to shield his assets from the judgment using bankruptcy protection, but a federal judge shut down those proceedings, citing Giuliani's refusal to make proper financial disclosures or meet various deadlines.

In addition to all of that, Giuliani faces criminal charges in the Georgia election racketeering case, currently on hold as state courts review the defendants' ethics complaints against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis; and he has also had his law license in the State of New York revoked. Making his financial situation even worse, he was recently fired from his radio program after refusing to stop promulgating election conspiracy theories.

Giuliani does not have a speaking role at the GOP convention this year. However, he has already drawn attention to himself by toppling over as he tried to walk a straight line at the convention.
