----

Rudolph W. Giuliani filed for bankruptcy on Thursday, a day after a federal judge ordered (thẩm phán liên bang ra lệnh) him to start paying the $148 million in damages he owes to two former Georgia election workers for spreading lies that they had tried to steal the 2020 election from Donald J. Trump.

Mr. Giuliani also owes millions of dollars in legal fees as well as unpaid state and federal income taxes (thuế thu nhập liên bang và tiểu bang chưa thanh toán), according to the filing.

In total, Mr. Giuliani said in the filing, he owes creditors $152.7 million as well as other potential damages he faces in pending lawsuits.

The bankruptcy filing (nộp đơn phá sản) was the latest in a long line of woes that Mr. Giuliani, a former crusading federal prosecutor and mayor of New York, has suffered in the three years since he took the job as the lead lawyer in Mr. Trump’s attempts to reverse his loss.

His legal work for the former president has led to a lawsuit filed (vụ kiện đệ trình) against him by Dominion Voting Systems for outlandish claims that the company helped to rig the presidential race against Mr. Trump. Mr. Giuliani has also been indicted in Georgia in a racketeering case with the former president on charges of tampering with that state’s election.

Mr. Giuliani made millions of dollars a year in private law practice (hành nghề luật tư nhân) after he left public office. His divorce from his third wife exposed the couple’s once-lavish lifestyle with a $230,000-a-month spending habit, six houses and 11 country club memberships.

At the beginning of the federal trial (xét xử liên bang) to determine damages owed to Ms. Freeman and Ms. Moss, Mr. Giuliani’s lawyer, Joseph Sibley IV, warned that even $43 million would be the civil equivalent of the death penalty (án tử hình).
