Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani says he has filed a civil lawsuit against US President Joe Biden. Former President Donald Trump’s confidante is accusing Biden of defamation for calling him a “Russian pawn” during a 2020 presidential debate. “What he did to me is unbearable,” Giuliani said at a press conference in Concord, New Hampshire on Wednesday (local time). Trump’s former lawyer filed the lawsuit there.
Giuliani claims he has lost clients because of Biden’s testimony. U.S. presidents enjoy broad immunity for their actions while in office and generally do not have to worry about being held civilly liable for them. But things are different for actions that have nothing to do with the presidency. Just over a week ago, Biden’s son Hunter sued Giuliani for allegedly gaining unlawful access to his laptop.
Giuliani is also facing other legal problems. He advised Trump during his term in office and was accused, together with the Republican in the state of Georgia, of attempted election fraud. The New York Times reported on Wednesday that the Public Prosecution Service is also investigating Giuliani’s alcohol use in this context. When Giuliani was asked about this in Concord, he said, “I don’t have a drinking problem.”
The 79-year-old was once a respected politician in the US. He was mayor of New York and chief crisis coordinator during the September 11 attacks. In recent years, however, Giuliani’s reputation has suffered considerably: he has caused great ridicule with several appearances. About three years ago, during a press conference, dark dye suddenly dripped down his temples – the media speculated about hair dye. A press conference in the parking lot of a landscaping company – located between a crematorium and a sex shop in the middle of the industrial area of metropolitan Philadelphia – also caused people to shake their heads.
