Rioters vandalized the interior of the building, planted explosives, broke into legislators' offices, and chanted "hang Mike Pence." The NYSBA called the attack "nothing short of an attempted coup, intended to prevent the peaceful transition of power." But New York State Sen. Brad Hoylman, who chairs the state Senate Judiciary Committee, filed a complaint with the appellate court on Jan. 11, 2021, seeking to revoke Giuliani's license to practice law in New York. With term limits, Giuliani was ineligible to run in 2001 for a third term as mayor. In November 1998, four-term incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan announced his retirement and Giuliani immediately indicated an interest in running in the 2000 election for the now-open seat.
LAPD issues city-wide tactical alert due as pro-Palestinian …
Footage also emerged days before the election of Mr Giuliani inside a hotel room with a 24-year-old actress after she tricked him into going back with her for the new Borat film. It is the latest in a series of embarrassing events for the former mayor of New York City. "The people who did this have committed one of the worst crimes that I have ever seen or observed."
Mayoralty
Giuliani continued to list off how many lawyers the plaintiffs had at their table in the courtroom, adding that the opposition's team had entered a large amount of discovery. Howell said they could all confer on the wording of that to the jury, or else they would just need to trust her to come up with the wording. The plaintiffs’ lawyer, Michael Gottlieb, said they’d confer with Giuliani’s lawyer, Joseph Sibley.

His administration had failed to prepare for potential attacks, and communication problems hampered the response. Giuliani ran for president in 2008, entering the Republican primary leading in the polls, but it was a disaster. Kirtzman writes that “emerging with just a single delegate was a catastrophic ending to a lifelong ambition.” Nathan said she “couldn’t get him out of bed,” and they relocated to Palm Beach, Fla. He spent his days moping around his in-laws’ condo and smoking cigars on the terrace while wearing a bathrobe. In 2005, Giuliani joined the law firm of Bracewell & Patterson LLP (renamed Bracewell & Giuliani LLP) as a name partner and basis for the expanding firm's new New York office.[495] When he joined the Texas-based firm he brought Marc Mukasey, the son of Attorney General Michael Mukasey, into the firm.
The consensus was that it probably wasn't dye, which doesn't usually drip unless it has been freshly applied. Mirko Vergani, the color director at a Manhattan salon, told the paper that Giuliani likely used mascara or a touch-up pen on his sideburns. "Sideburns are more gray than the rest of the head. You can apply mascara to touch the gray side up a bit so it looks more natural." Many online commenters assumed that Mr. Giuliani was the victim of a bad dye job that was now seeping out under the bright lights of television. But several Manhattan hairdressers said that what was dripping down the face of the president’s lawyer was likely not hair dye.

Giuliani, formerly the mayor of New York City, led the Trump campaign’s broadly unsuccessful legal effort to overturn the 2020 election, which included dozens of lawsuits that nearly all failed. The attorney only directly represented the campaign in one case in Pennsylvania, which failed, and also was involved with alleged efforts to pressure state lawmakers and officials to overturn the results. Giuliani is one of a number of lawyers involved with the post-election effort who are now facing consequences for doing so, along with Sidney Powell, John Eastman and Lin Wood. Those lawyers have also faced potential disbarment for their roles in trying to challenge the vote count, and Powell is similarly being sued by Dominion and Smartmatic. Giuliani is one of six co-conspirators listed in the indictment as helping Trump’s scheme, and while no one is identified by name in the court filing, the other conspirators are believed to include Eastman, Powell, DOJ attorney Jeffrey Clark and Kenneth Chesebro.
Election officials across the country have said repeatedly there was no widespread fraud. At one point Mr Giuliani alleged – without proof – that Joe Biden, US president-elect, had conspired in plotting to steal the election from Mr Trump. I can’t stop looking at the dual rivulets of dye running down Rudy Giuliani’s cheeks and thinking, like the Wicked Witch, Trump’s defense along with his presidency is melting.

“Hair dye doesn’t drip like that, unless it’s just been applied,” said David Kholdorov of the Men’s Lounge Barbershop and Spa, on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Rudolph W. Giuliani gave a news conference on Thursday in which, as he continued to cast doubt on the results of the presidential election, it appeared he was starting to melt. It all comes against the backdrop of increasingly frantic attempts by the the Trump campaign to undermine the election result, which saw Mr Biden receive more votes than any other presidential candidate in history. We asked the New York state court system if any other complaints have been filed against Giuliani and whether any further information was available at this time, but didn't receive a response in time for publication.

She feuded with Giuliani’s staff, most memorably over a selection of hats that were selected for her to wear to Buckingham Palace when Giuliani received an honorary knighthood in 2002. Similarly, in June 2006, Giuliani started a website called Solutions America to help elect Republican candidates across the nation. In delivering her testimony yesterday, Moss described to jurors how her life has changed in the aftermath of the election, saying she suffers "nonstop anxious sweats" and "a lot of dark moments."
By the time Mr. Giuliani began to take questions from reporters, the dark rivulets of liquid streaking down his face had become impossible to ignore, even as he pleaded with those present not to make light of his claims, for which he has yet to present evidence. "I will not allow American democracy to be undermined," Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a video released by her office. But there is concern that Mr Trump’s effort is doing real damage to public faith in the integrity of American elections. Election law experts see it as the last, dying gasps of the Trump campaign and say Mr Biden is certain to walk into the Oval Office come January.
During the event, he seemed to have more than a little bit of an issue with sweating and mid-way through the press conference, a dark substance that appeared to be hair dye started running down the sides of Giuliani's face. While he was seen wiping his face and forehead, he didn't seem to realize dark streaks were running down his face and he wasn't made aware of it by anyone else on stage. Giuliani and his posse appeared at a Georgia courthouse, where he received the bad news. Among him was his entourage, including someone who appears to be a bag man, one of his lawyers, or simply a staffer. In early January, New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez said that state’s five Republican electors cannot be prosecuted under the current law.
Because of his high profile and visibility, Giuliani was supported by the state Republican Party. Giuliani's entrance led Democratic Congressman Charles Rangel and others to recruit then-First Lady Hillary Clinton to run for Moynihan's seat, hoping she might combat his star power. In her first two hours of testimony, Moss took the stand as the fourth plaintiffs’ witness in the case, detailing the negative toll the false allegations have taken on her day-to-day life.
In New Mexico and Pennsylvania, fake electors added a caveat saying the election certificate was submitted in case they were later recognized as duly elected, qualified electors. In Wisconsin, 10 Republicans who posed as electors settled a civil lawsuit, admitting their actions were part of an effort to overturn Biden’s victory. The 11 people who had been nominated to be Arizona’s Republican electors met in Phoenix on Dec. 14, 2020, to sign a certificate saying they were “duly elected and qualified” electors and claiming that Trump carried the state. A one-minute video of the signing ceremony was posted on social media by the Arizona Republican Party at the time.
All five of the attorneys were later charged as part of the Fulton County probe (the sixth co-conspirator’s identity remains unconfirmed). When Donald Trump tasked Rudy Giuliani with spearheading his legal effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election, it was obviously the final nail in the coffin of this extremely sad attempt to overthrow democracy. Also unfortunately for Trump, both he and Giuliani became untethered from reality several decades ago. This happened during a press conference Giuliani chaired last November 20, during which the lawyer asserted multiple times that Trump won the 2020 election. This was despite the votes showing that the former president definitively lost. At the time, there was already clear evidence that the election was the most secure in US history, safeguarded by cybersecurity officials.
