As Associate Attorney General, Giuliani supervised the U.S. Attorney Offices' federal law enforcement agencies, the Department of Corrections, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the United States Marshals Service.
For Giuliani, the latest legal threats come on top of several others that he faces due to his relentless and widely debunked efforts to help Trump win reelection. Giuliani was hit last year with a $1.3bn defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems over bogus and conspiratorial claims that Dominion helped rig the election.

In Giuliani's first term as mayor, the New York City Police Department – at the instigation of Commissioner Bill Bratton – adopted an aggressive enforcement/deterrent strategy based on James Q. Wilson 's " Broken Windows " approach. This involved crackdowns on relatively minor offenses such as graffiti, turnstile jumping, cannabis possession, and aggressive panhandling by " squeegee men ", on the theory that this would send a message that order would be maintained. The legal underpinning for removing the "squeegee men" from the streets was developed under Giuliani's predecessor, Mayor David Dinkins. Bratton, with Deputy Commissioner Jack Maple, also created and instituted CompStat, a computer-driven comparative statistical approach to mapping crime geographically and in terms of emerging criminal patterns, as well as charting officer performance by quantifying criminal apprehensions. Critics of the system assert that it creates an environment in which police officials are encouraged to underreport or otherwise manipulate crime data. An extensive study found a high correlation between crime rates reported by the police through CompStat and rates of crime available from other sources, suggesting there had been no manipulation. The CompStat initiative won the 1996 Innovations in Government Award from the Kennedy School of Government.
On May 24, 2006, after missing all the group's meetings, including a briefing from General David Petraeus, former Secretary of State Colin Powell and former Army Chief of Staff Eric Shinseki, Giuliani resigned from the panel, citing "previous time commitments".
He made frequent appearances on radio and television on September 11 and afterwards – for example, to indicate that tunnels would be closed as a precautionary measure , and that there was no reason to believe the dispersion of chemical or biological weaponry into the air was a factor in the attack. In his public statements, Giuliani said:
In April 1981, Giuliani's father died, at age 73, of prostate cancer, at Memorial Sloan–Kettering Cancer Center. 19 years later, in April 2000, Giuliani, then aged 55, was diagnosed with prostate cancer following a prostate biopsy, after an elevated screening PSA. Giuliani chose a combination prostate cancer treatment consisting of four months of neoadjuvant Lupron hormonal therapy, then low dose-rate prostate brachytherapy with permanent implantation of ninety TheraSeed radioactive palladium-103 seeds in his prostate in September 2000, followed two months later by five weeks of fifteen-minute, five-days-a-week external beam radiotherapy at Mount Sinai Medical Center, with five months of adjuvant Lupron hormonal therapy.
He advocated for a voucher -based system to promote private schooling. Giuliani supported protection for illegal immigrants. He continued a policy of preventing city employees from contacting the Immigration and Naturalization Service about immigration violations , on the grounds that illegal aliens should be able to take actions such as sending their children to school or reporting crimes to the police without fear of deportation.
By January 2000, polling for the race dramatically reversed, with Giuliani now pulling nine points ahead of Clinton, in part because his campaign was able to take advantage of several campaign stumbles by Clinton.
In 2000, he ran against First Lady Hillary Clinton for a US Senate seat from New York, but left the race once diagnosed with prostate cancer.
I placed a tag on the article, because, mostly this is the section that needed it anyways and not the Giuliani main page. The main page still has problems, but most of the major ones have been just moved to here. As I see it, the big problems have to do with some of these controversies having either undue weight or one-sidedness.
Dogru144- please see the full context of what Giuliani said regarding waterboarding below. Please not that he did not say that he believed waterboarding should be used in the course of general interrogation. Your edit takes his viewpoint out of context.
Not concerning the POV tag but rather the name of the article, may I propose that it be renamed "Controversies Surrounding Rudy Giuliani"? My reasoning for this is that most controversies are not "of" one, but rather around or surrounding one. Zchris87v 07:05, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
There is an apparent effort to place the POV language of Giuliani into this article. We should bear in mind, that however much one might agree with Giuliani, there is no way that we can claim to have the ability to forecast actions by persons in the future.
I thought that the first section affirmatively included his claims to spending as much time or more than the recovery workers, so I considered the "one of them" section to be redundant. Some IP address editors seemed bent on using the latter phrase so I incorporated the latter section into the former section, along with the citation.
There are edits on Giuliani's professed love for his wife (third, i.e., Judi Nathan). This is extraneous material, too tangential for encyclopedia. Dogru144 19:48, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
It is rubbish to reject youtube as a reference. The youtube references in question are iron-clad proof of facts asserted prior to the youtube references. When you see someone say or do something on TV or youtube, 99.9999999999999999999999999% of the time or better, said event did happen.
In a nutshell, the scandal is about the losing candidate of a presidential election refusing to accept the results. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, several states changed or updated their rules regarding mail-in and early voting in an attempt to make voting safer during a deadly pandemic. Because of this, it took a little more time to count votes (many states require mail-in votes to be counted last), and Trump's team falsely claimed that this was actually evidence of voter fraud.
It involved a number of key players besides the president himself, including the national security adviser and the FBI director. The Russia scandal had its origins in the general election campaign between Trump, a Republican, and former U.S. Sen. and onetime Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a Democrat.
Trump's second impeachment came as the pinnacle of a two-month effort by the president and his allies to discredit and even overturn the results of the 2020 election, in which Trump lost re-election to Democratic challenger Joe Biden. He repeatedly pushed claims of election fraud (including conspiracy theories about mail-in voting and a particular brand of voting machines), filed over sixty lawsuits contesting elections in key swing states (nearly all of which he lost immediately), and was caught on a recording calling the Georgia Secretary of State to pressure him to "find 11,780 votes" to flip the state to Trump. 1 Prior to the Capitol riot of January 6, 2021, in which a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol building during the formal certification of electoral votes and left five people dead, Trump spoke at a rally and urged his followers to march to the Capitol and "stop the steal." 2
