Did noun, verb, 9/11 pay all those debts

I hope they got their money
———-
New York City’s former mayor Rudy Giuliani has been hospitalized after getting injured in a car wreck in New Hampshire over the weekend.

On Sunday, Giuliani’s head of security, Michael Ragusa, released a statement, saying that the 81-year old was involved in a motor vehicle accident on Saturday evening. According to Ragusa, prior to the incident, Giuliani was flagged down by a woman who was the victim of a domestic violence incident.

“Mayor Giuliani immediately rendered assistance and contacted 911. He remained on scene until responding officers arrived to ensure her safety. Following this, while traveling on the highway, mayor Giuliani’s vehicle was struck from behind at high speed,” Ragusa said.

Giuliani was transported to a nearby trauma center where he was treated for a fractured thoracic vertebrae, multiple cuts and bruises, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg.

In 2023, a jury ordered Giuliani to pay $148.1m to two former election workers from Georgia after he falsely accused them of attempting to steal the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.

the alleged victim of domestic violence is super fishy. Like they're trying to get in front of a bad news cycle involving Giuliani's NH travels. Like, why even mention it?

"I wasn't soliciting a prostitute in my rental car, she flagged me down. I swear! 911 arrived and I got in my car and fled. I was too drunk to properly merge onto the highway, and somebody plowed into me. I'm the victim!!!"
