Former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani says he has “no regrets” about falsely accusing two Georgia election workers of rigging the 2020 election. “I have no regrets at all. I’m on the side of justice, right and truth,” Giuliani said in an interview Tuesday on the convention floor of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where he repeated his past denials of having defamed anyone. The former New York City mayor and onetime attorney to former President Donald Trump, who isn’t an expected speaker at the convention this week, compared his legal plight to “the Japanese internment during the second war,” referring to World War II. In December, Giuliani was ordered to pay $148 million to the election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. His bankruptcy case was dismissed last week, so Freeman and Moss – as well as other creditors – can start trying to seize his assets. Moss and Freeman plan to immediately pursue those assets, their attorney Rachel Strickland told CNN’s “The Source” on Friday. Giuliani attacked the federal judges who oversaw the defamation case filed by the two election workers, as well as his bankruptcy case, calling the judges “bloodthirsty” and “ridiculous.”

Federal regulators repeatedly granted appeals to remove Camp Mystic’s buildings from their 100-year flood map, loosening oversight as the camp operated and expanded in a dangerous flood plain in the years before rushing waters swept away children and counselors, a review by The Associated Press found.

Two of the most senior figures in the US government — Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the White House chief of staff — have been impersonated in recent weeks using artificial intelligence — a tactic that harnesses a rapidly developing technology that cybersecurity experts say is becoming the “new normal” in terms of cheap and easy scams targeting senior US officials.
