Slapped with “absurd” nine-figure penalty, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani alleged President Joe Biden was tied to his legal persecution in an effort to have him turn on former President Donald Trump.
“Basically, they wanted me to rat…”

Already in hot water after a Friday ruling to hand over nearly $150 million for the defamation of Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, an appeal-eyeing Giuliani raised concerns over ulterior motives from the prosecution and the judge.
Joining political strategist and commentator Steve Bannon on “War Room,” the mayor was asked about the judgment as the host said, “Rudy, just quickly, what’s your status? Are you gonna try for a retrial in a different location or a different judge? Are you gonna try to appeal this? Just walk people through the process.”
After slamming the venue itself as a leading factor in the current outcome, Giuliani alleged partisan loyalties within the justice system. “And then this judge went way off the rails from the very, very beginning. Even the discovery, I was being discovered for other cases, because these people are working for the Bidens…not for the women.”
“They were asking me questions that had to do with Trump’s liability, other people’s liability. Basically, they wanted me to rat, you know…that’s what’s going on,” he claimed. “They offered me settlements and I told them to go to hell.”
“This was a stalking action for Biden and also to shut up the guy that’s done the most damage to him. Remember, when he came into the campaign he sent out a letter to the press to keep Giuliani off the media. He succeeded in doing that eventually with the hard drive,” the mayor said, bringing up his personal involvement in attempting to expose the contents of Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop.
In August, U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell found Giuliani liable for defamation, civil conspiracy and emotional distress of Freeman and her daughter Moss after he “refused to comply with his discovery obligations.”
While he had conceded in July that the claims he made against the woman were false, he maintained that the statements were “constitutionally protected” and on Saturday told Bannon, “Well, we’re going to try to appeal it. I mean, another interesting thing is this case should have been brought in Georgia.”
“It was brought in D.C. to get it before the most anti-Trump set of jurors and judges in the world. I mean, if you’re a lawyer, you will tell your client — or malpractice comes about — if you’re a Trump person, you’re not getting a fair trial in the District of Columbia,” asserted Giuliani. “Now, if you don’t tell…if you don’t warn your client of that, I would say you’re guilty of malpractice. Go check that with any lawyer who still has a bit of common sense. So they took — they brought it in the worst court they could, even worse than Georgia where you might get lucky and get a fair judge.”
“This award is so absurd,” he added Saturday before contending the jury had been prohibited from hearing his side, “That only happens in a fascist country.”
Likewise, Giuliani had remarked outside the courthouse Friday, “I am quite confident when this case gets before a fair tribunal, it will be reversed so quickly, it’ll make your head spin and the absurd number that just came in will help that, actually.”
