Of Course Trump Stiffed His Co-Conspirators
Unsurprisingly, former President Donald Trump stiffed several of his allies, including Rudy Giuliani, who are now facing criminal charges for helping him try to overturn the 2020 election that Biden won. And Giuliani is reportedly hurting for money right now to the point that he put his Manhattan home up for sale.
CNBC reports:
This is despite the fact that their lawsuits and false claims of election interference helped the Trump campaign and allied committees raise $250 million in the weeks following the November vote, the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot said in its final report.
Among them was Trump's closest ally, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Trump and Giuliani had a handshake agreement that Giuliani and his team would get paid by the Trump political operation for their post-election work, according to Timothy Parlatore, an attorney for longtime Giuliani ally Bernard Kerik.
But the Trump campaign and its affiliated committees ultimately did not honor that pledge, according to campaign finance records. The records show that Giuliani's companies were only reimbursed for travel and not the $20,000 a day he requested to be paid.
Giuliani could die in prison over a raging narcissist's demand for fealty without giving any loyalty back.
