Why DOJ prosecutors are taking a close look at Giuliani’s 'heavy' drinking: report

Raw Story  

Rudy Giuliani was once a federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York. In 2023, the former New York City mayor is among the co-defendants in Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis' criminal case against former President Donald Trump. "Now, prosecutors in the federal election case against Mr. Trump have shown an interest in the drinking habits of Mr. Giuliani — and whether the former president ignored what his aides described as the plain inebriation of the former mayor referred to in court documents as 'Co-Conspirator 1,'" the journalists explain. Flegenheimer and Haberman add, "The office of the special counsel, Jack Smith, has questioned witnesses about Mr. Giuliani's alcohol consumption as he was advising Mr. Trump, including on election night, according to a person familiar with the matter. Flegenheimer and Haberman report, "Mr. Sharpton said he did indulge in a running gag: He and others who opposed Mr. Trump sometimes playfully encouraged a server to double Mr. Giuliani's liquor orders before he went on Fox."
