'Yikes': Critics Clown Rudy Giuliani For Doing Trump No 'Favors' In Ridiculous Defense

Giuliani slammed a federal judge and went to bat for Trump after a jury ordered the former president to pay over $80 million in damages to E. Jean Carroll.
Rudy Giuliani defended Donald Trump with wild on-air remarks after a jury ordered his former client to pay $83.3 million in damages to writer E. Jean Carroll on Friday.
Trump’s former personal attorney, in an interview with Newsmax’s Rob Schmitt, declared that the legal system has “gone to hell” before calling U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, who oversaw the defamation trial, a “pure disgrace.”
Kaplan oversaw a separate trial last year where a jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll, who has maintained that the former president raped her in the 1990s, and awarded her $5 million in damages.
“First of all, he was found not guilty – or not liable for rape. It was sexual assault, not rape. And second, you can be – you can be guilty of rape and still, a person can be a wacko. That was a defamation,” said Giuliani, who was ordered to pay $148 million to a pair of Georgia election workers he defamed after the 2020 election.
“You’re allowed to still defend yourself against defamation.”
