Newsmax is keeping a lifeline available for Rudy Giuliani — his show still appears on Newsmax2, Newsmax’s streaming channel and columnist tried to manufacture a victimhood narrative for him, though it’s apparently no longer promoting the legal defense fund for Giuliani it created — the link to it now goes to a promotion for Newsmax magazine. Creditors, however, are eyeing Giuliani’s income from Newsmax has he is reportedly his income sources as he tries (and fails) to get out of the $150 million judgment against him for falsely defaming two Georgia election workers.
The apparently unironically named Charlie McCarthy hyped a possible comeback by Giuliani in a Nov. 4 article:
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani reportedly has not ruled out another possible run for his old office.
Giuliani, 80, served as mayor from 1994-2001, earning an international reputation for his work following the Sept. 11, 2011, terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center.
“I’m not going to say never, ever, ever,” he told the New York Post from Palm Beach, Florida.
“I’m not running for mayor,” he added. “But then there are a lot of people who want me to run for mayor. But it’s unlikely.”
McCarthy made no mention of the massive legal judgment against Giuliani, or the fact that Newsmax is one of his few remaining sources of income.
Giuliani was also given space to opine about the shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in a Dec. 6 TV appearance.
On the other hand, Newsmax has largely ignored Giuliani’s continuing legal travails. It did, however, publish a Nov. 16 wire article noting that Giuliani had agreed to turn over some assets to the women he defamed.
