'Life is not going to be good': Ex-Trump lawyer warns Giuliani what to expect
December 15, 2023
A former White House lawyer for Donald Trump lamented Rudy Giuliani's long fall from grace Friday.
Jim Schultz, who served less than a year in the White House counsel's office, appeared Friday on CNN to discuss the defamation case against the former New York City mayor as a jury considered penalties for his defamation of Georgia election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman.
"This is just the continual descent of what was America's mayor," Schultz said. "After 9/11 and all the good things he had done after 9/11, and now to be here today, you know, being accused of and being found having to defamed two public servants who were there just working on Election Day and doing their jobs is really sad.
"I don't know what happened with him. Obviously, there was this descent that found its way to where it is today. It's sad that that's where we are in politics today, the fact that he did that, I think that the jury in this case is going to hold him accountable. I don't know what the number is going to be, it is a crap shoot as to what that number will be, but it will be a real number."

Giuliani, however, doesn't seem to have any money as he faces steep legal bills and looming penalties in multiple lawsuits related to his post-2020 election lies while serving as Trump's campaign lawyer.
"He has mounting legal costs, he will have a judgment against him here that he will have to pay something on," Schultz said.
" ... He'll be heading towards bankruptcies at some point in time, because you have all of these debts that are accumulating against him. So life is not going to be good for the former mayor."
