Rudy Giuliani suspended from radio show over election misinformation

Rudy Giuliani, once New York City Mayor and attorney to Donald Trump, has been suspended from WABC radio in New York for spreading false information about the 2020 presidential election results, amplifying his current legal and financial woes.
Rudy Giuliani, former Mayor of New York City and personal attorney to Donald Trump, has been suspended from his radio show on WABC in New York for spreading misinformation about the 2020 presidential election results. John Catsimatidis, the owner of the radio station, confirmed Giuliani’s suspension, citing multiple warnings given to Giuliani against discussing election-related misinformation, which were ignored.
The decision to suspend Giuliani from WABC was made amid his growing legal and financial troubles. Giuliani, who is 79 years old, declared bankruptcy in December, revealing liabilities as high as $500 million. He faces several legal challenges, including disbarment proceedings in New York and Washington D.C., criminal charges in multiple states for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, and a defamation suit that resulted in a $148 million liability to two Georgia poll workers.
Giuliani’s disputes with the radio station further complicate his public and professional life, as he considered the show a significant platform and a source of income. According to Giuliani, the show was solely funded through advertising revenue. Following his suspension, Giuliani claimed that his right to free speech was being violated and announced plans to address this issue in an upcoming livestream.
As of May 2024, Rudy Giuliani’s suspension from WABC radio is a current development in his broader legal and financial difficulties. The enforcement of the suspension reflects ongoing concerns over the accuracy of public information regarding the 2020 presidential election.
