Rudy Giuliani made a bold accusation Saturday that the federal government is trying to starve him to pay out the Georgia election workers he defamed.
The disgraced ex-New York City mayor pleaded for pennies from the public by reigniting a months-old Give Send Go fundraiser to support his fight to reverse orders to hand over $148 million worth of assets.
“Wilkie Farr Law firm and Judge Liman are trying to inhibit me from making a living. They seized my measly checking account so I can’t buy food. Help me fight,” Giuliani whined on X.
The fundraiser — created on the Christian website over the summer by former Oklahoma Senate candidate Jackson Lahmeyer — has raised more than $96,100 of its $100,00 goal, and has racked up 250 “prayers.”
The funds will benefit the Rudy Giuliani Freedom Fund so the former Donald Trump attorney can appeal orders that he hand over the $148 million in damages to election workers, Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, who he accused of trying to cheat Trump out of the 2020 presidential election.
The public begging comes just days after Giuliani brazenly rolled up to a Florida polling site Tuesday in the vintage Mercedes he’s been ordered to surrender to the pair.
In court Thursday, Giuliani tried telling a Manhattan federal court that he wanted his own name removed from a document he’s required to file listing the people who know where his assets — including the blue convertible 1980 Model SL500 once owned by Hollywood icon Lauren Bacall — a request that set off Judge Lewis Liman.
“The notion that your client doesn’t have any notion of where his assets are is farcical,” Liman fumed, adding that he expects Giuliani to answer that question “truthfully and fully.”
“If necessary, I will have you take the stand and testify under oath.”
Giuliani has also failed to hand over his three-bedroom Upper East Side apartment, New York Yankees memorabilia and other luxury possessions.
Giuliani falsely claimed that Freeman and Moss tried to cheat Trump out of the 2020 presidential election, which he lost to Joe Biden — in lies that led to “terrifying” mobs of his supporters gathering at Freeman’s home, she testified at a December 2023 trial in Washington, DC, federal court.
Giuliani says he plans to appeal the damages verdict.
