Monica Levinson, producer of Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm, said the film’s infamous Rudy Giuliani scene was even more harrowing for the filmmakers after the former mayor left the hotel room.

The film features a scene in which Giuliani goes to the hotel bedroom with Maria Bakalova after an interview, appearing to expect sexual relations. Giuliani has denied that’s what he was doing.

“He claimed we were trying to extort him at the time, which we didn’t ask for anything,” Levinson said at a Producers Guild of America panel on Saturday. “He called all of his New York City cops and said extortion, which was a federal crime. Very smart to bring that up.” Continue reading.

Already buffeted by a massive $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems over his claims that the company helped Joe Biden steal the 2020 presidential election, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has new legal problems as the US Attorney’s office for the South District of New York is re-upping an investigation into his foreign dealings.

According to a report from Yahoo News, the investigation into Giuliani’s Ukraine work for Donald Trump in an attempt to dig up dirt on now-President Joe Biden had been sitting dormant but now is being re-activated.

At issue is whether Giuliani, in his capacity working for the ex-president, registered as a foreign agent. Continue reading.

Rudy Giuliani was once of the face of New York City after 9/11; now, he’s the face of President Donald Trump’s campaign following the 2020 election. The Trump attorney and former New York City mayor has been going to great lengths to convince the courts that Trump was the victim of widespread voter fraud — although he hasn’t been able to prove his allegations — and according to Mother Jones’ David Corn, Giuliani “arguably provided false testimony several times” when he testified via Zoom at a Missouri legislative hearing on December 14.

Giuliani wasn’t challenging the election results in Missouri, a state that Trump won. Rather, Corn writes, he was the “star witness” for Republicans in the Missouri House of Representatives who were making a “show of fealty to the defeated Trump” by “pushing a non-binding resolution declaring that they have ‘no faith’ in election results in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada.”

Corn offers some examples of possible “false testimony” from Giuliani. Continue reading.

Angry Rudy Giuliani demands apology from Fox TV interviewer

Giuliani says interview is ‘totally insulting’ and accuses presenter of ‘outrageous defamation’

Rudy Giuliani, the personal attorney to Donald Trump and former mayor of New York city, threatened to walk out of a tense interview on Fox Business.

Recently embarrassed by his appearance in a compromising scene the new Borat movie, Giuliani was being pressed on the provenance of stories about what is claimed to be Hunter Biden’s laptop.

The host, Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, suggested the stories emanating from the “found” laptop and reported by the New York Post were similar to the kind of broad smear that the famed Christopher Steele dossier made about Donald Trump. Continue reading.

Prosecutors: More Charges Possible In Case Of Giuliani Associates Parnas, Fruman

Prosecutors could bring more charges in the case of two Soviet-born associates of Rudy Giuliani — although it wasn’t precisely clear when, what or who else might be involved after a conference in New York City on Monday.

Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman face charges of conspiracy, false statements and falsification of records in connection with two alleged schemes to violate U.S. election laws. But it’s their work helping Giuliani dig up dirt in Ukraine that has put the pair under intense public scrutiny.

And a superseding indictment — which could add to or modify the existing charges — is likely, prosecutors said on Monday, but also adding that they’re continuing to evaluate the case.
