Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City and attorney for former President Donald Trump, is facing a $10 million lawsuit from a former employee. The 70-page complaint was filed in a New York Court on Monday by Noelle Dunphy, who was hired by Giuliani in January 2019 to work on the business development side for his firm.
The lawsuit alleges that Giuliani sexually assaulted and harassed Dunphy, failed to pay her wages, and engaged in other misconduct. It also claims that Giuliani offered to get pardons for clients from Trump for $2 million, and hid income during a recent divorce.
MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell noted that the lawsuit includes the phrase “This conversation was recorded” repeatedly, which could be a problem for Giuliani. O’Donnell also highlighted three potential federal crimes that are mentioned in the lawsuit.
Giuliani has denied all of the allegations in the lawsuit. His attorney, Robert Costello, said in a statement that the lawsuit is “completely false and was brought by a disgruntled former employee who is trying to extract an undeserved payment.”
The lawsuit is the latest in a series of legal issues that Giuliani has faced in recent years. He is currently under investigation by federal prosecutors in New York for his business dealings in Ukraine.
