Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is engaged in "histrionics" by claiming that he could be left homeless if he had to sell his $3.5 million Florida condo, his creditors have claimed in court. Giuliani is fighting to keep his Palm Beach home after filing for bankruptcy.

Giuliani declared bankruptcy after a Georgia jury awarded $148 million to two Georgia election workers who had taken a defamation lawsuit against him.

While working as an election attorney for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, Giuliani falsely alleged that mother and daughter Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss had committed election fraud while counting ballots in Fulton County, Georgia.

His creditors, who want Giuliani to pay part of his debts by selling the condo, also contest Giuliani's "absurd" claim that he needs his Palm Beach home to record his podcast. In a filing in bankruptcy court in Manhattan, New York, on April 1, lawyers for the creditors committee strongly contested a court briefing by Giuliani's attorney on Thursday, in which he wrote that selling the condo could leave Giuliani homeless. Newsweek sought email comment from Giuliani's spokesman on Tuesday.
