CBSN
A federal judge dismissed Rudy Giuliani's bankruptcy protection case Friday, clearing the way for creditors to pursue foreclosures, repossessions and other efforts to collect debt from the former New York City mayor and Trump adviser.
Giuliani himself asked for the dismissal Wednesday, after more than half a year of missing court deadlines amid allegations by lawyers for his creditors that he was evading questions about his finances.
Giuliani filed for bankruptcy protection after a federal jury in December held him liable for defaming two Georgia election workers, and awarded them $148 million in damages.
Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear banned the use of "conversion therapy" on minors in Kentucky on Wednesday, calling his executive order an overdue step to protect children from a widely discredited practice that tries to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity through counseling. Over 20 other states that have passed laws prohibiting the controversial treatment.
