America’s Mayor never stops delivering his distinct brand of conspiratorial quackery. Here's what Rudy Giuliani has been up to lately, including getting sued over false election-fraud claims, losing his law licenses, and more

“To break our spirit, to demoralize us, you take our financial center, our military center, our political center all in one shot,” the former mayor explained. “And those weak Americans – remember, [Al Qaeda] had attacked us a couple of times and declared war against us, and basically Bill Clinton kind of did what Biden just did.”“You know, a little strike here, a little strike there, a couple of fields that had no people in it,” he continued.
Giuliani’s remarks were cited as evidence during Trump’s second impeachment trial, and in March, Representative Eric Swalwell named him in a civil suit accusing Trump and his cronies of being “wholly responsible for the injury and destruction” caused by the rioters. Following an unsuccessful effort to have the suit dismissed, Giuliani doubled down on his wild claims. In a court filing last month, Giuliani’s attorneys asserted that “some and/or all of Giuliani’s statements complained of are substantially true” — though he also “lacks knowledge or information sufficient” on the company’s voting systems to know whether his claims were defamatory or not.
US law requires anyone lobbying on behalf of a foreign government or official to register, and failing to do so is a violation.In April, federal agents executed search warrants at Giuliani’s Manhattan apartment and Park Avenue office, seizing 18 electronic devices, according to prior court filings. Prosecutors also disclosed that they had covertly searched Giuliani’s iCloud account in 2019.
Losing his law licenses This summer Giuliani’s law license was temporarily suspended in New York and then D.C. over lies he told as part of his effort to steal the 2020 election for Trump, conduct that an appellate court said represented an “immediate threat” to the public.
