Creditors in disgraced former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s bankruptcy case have issued subpoenas to his associates to try to determine whether his former client Donald Trump owes him money, as the ex-mayor has previously claimed.

The Committee of Unsecured Creditors — individuals and entities that Mr Giuliani owes — served more than a dozen subpoenas on Friday in an effort to recover his assets. Mr Giuliani filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after being hit with a massive $148m verdict for defaming two election workers.

The former Trump lawyer listed a “possible claim for unpaid legal fees against Donald J Trump” in a January bankruptcy court filing. The following month, he elaborated in a hearing that he is owed $2m in unpaid wages for a spurious legal battle to overturn election results in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election.

However, Mr Giuliani underscored that the money is owed not by Mr Trump himself, but by either Trump’s campaign and/or the Republican National Committee. He also suggested that the arrangement was made verbally, calling it a “word-of-mouth situation.”

1. Gotta feeling they are wasting time if hoping to go against trump for Giuliani's judgement.

2. Rudy wanted $20,000 a day from Donald for a short while... Didn't get it.

3. Just another brush fire for Trump

He will have to find and pay more lawyers. He comes out with greater deadbeat cred. The former NY lawyer and serial philanderer is trying to grab all he can to pay for legal assistance for the judgement against him. They are eating their own.

4. Won't happen

“word-of-mouth situation.”

Almost every state bar requires all fee agreements to be in writing

6. Hmmm, there must be some precedents of payments for attorney

services provided even without a written agreement- assuming Rudy did not get anything in writing.

Rudy DID provide legal services to Trump. And illegal services I imagine as well.

5. Well, this was my biggest guffaw of the day.

Granted, it's early.

8. Mr. Giuliani, knowing trump does not pay his debts, also wants to milk that golden cow,

the republican party.
