Donald Trump ally Rudy Giuliani has filed for bankruptcy, days after a jury decided he must pay more than $148m (€134m) in damages to two former election workers.
On Saturday, a US jury ordered Mr Giuliani to pay the Georgia poll workers he defamed by falsely accusing them of helping to rig the 2020 election.
Mr Giuliani, who helped former US president Trump advance his false claims of a stolen 2020 election, filed the petition in US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, court documents showed.
In the filing, Mr Giuliani said he had between $100m and $500m (€90m and €454m) in liabilities and $1m to $10m (€900,000 to €9m) in assets.
Mr Giuliani said he owed $148m (€134m) to Wandrea Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman, the two former Georgia election workers, who faced a deluge of threats after Mr Giuliani falsely claimed they were engaged in voting fraud.
A federal judge yesterday ruled that Giuliani must immediately begin paying the two women, concluding there was a risk he may attempt to conceal his assets.
The filing also listed US President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden as a creditor, without specifying the amount Mr Giuliani owed him.
Hunter Biden in September sued Mr Giuliani for violating his privacy over data allegedly taken from his laptop.
Mr Giuliani listed the Internal Revenue Service and New York State Department of Taxation and finance among his creditors.
