It appears that John Catsimatidis, the owner of Talk Radio 77WABC, has become the focus of attention from Rudy Giuliani’s creditors. The reasons behind this targeting remain unclear, but it seems to be related to financial matters.
Bloomberg reports former WABC talker and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani won bankruptcy court permission to challenge a $148 million judgment over false claims he made against two Georgia election workers, but faces long odds if he moves to get the financial penalty excused in Chapter 11.
US Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane said Friday during a hearing in White Plains, New York that Giuliani can request a second trial in federal court over damages he owes poll workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea’ ArShaye “Shaye” Moss, whom Giuliani falsely accused of rigging the 2020 election for Joe Biden. Giuliani’s legal fees in the defamation action will be covered by a legal defense fund, his bankruptcy lawyer said.
Giuliani’s bankruptcy lawyer, Gary Fischoff, said the former mayor has limited assets, which include some real estate, retirement accounts and income from his radio and podcast show. Besides the judgment, Giuliani faces a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems over false claims he made alleging the company used its voting machines to rig the 2020 election.
“There is not pot of gold at the end of the rainbow,” Fischoff said in the hearing.
