SUMMARY
A New York federal judge has dismissed Rudy Giuliani's bankruptcy case, a move that aligns with Giuliani's preference and avoids the appointment of a trustee. Judge Sean Lane emphasized Giuliani's ongoing legal battles, including the defamation lawsuit brought by Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who accused him of making false claims about election fraud. The decision allows Giuliani to maintain control over his assets and potentially resolve his debts outside the bankruptcy process.
