Mr Giuliani reportedly claimed he would split the $2 million fee with then-president Donald Trump
quote
A former aide to former Trump attorney Rudolph Giuliani says he told her the ex-New York City mayor and then-president Donald Trump were offering to sell presidential pardons for $2 million apiece, according to court documents.
The bombshell allegation was levied in a complaint filed against Mr Giuliani by Noelle Dunphy, a New York-based public relations professional who is suing him for “unlawful abuses of power, wide-ranging sexual assault and harassment, wage theft, and other misconduct” committed while she worked for him in 2019 and 2020.
The lawsuit also claims that she was subjected to sexual assault, harassment, wage theft and other misconduct by Mr Giuliani, and alleges that she was forced to perform sex acts on him and work in the nude.
Ms Duphy’s lawsuit details an interaction she allegedly had with Mr Giuliani on or about 16 February 2019, when he was serving as Mr Trump’s personal attorney and attempting to dig up overseas dirt on then-former vice president Joe Biden, who at the time was two months away from entering the 2020 presidential race against Mr Trump.
She writes that as they reviewed emails between him and Ukrainian government officials, she asked if he had to register as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act and offered to do the required paperwork for him.
The former mayor replied that he was allowed to violate Fara and other US laws because “[he had] immunity”, according to the lawsuit.
She then states that Mr Giuliani asked her “if she knew anyone in need of a pardon” because he was “selling pardons for $2 million, which he and President Trump would split”.
“He told Ms Dunphy that she could refer individuals seeking pardons to him, so long as they did not go through “the normal channels” of the Office of the Pardon Attorney, because correspondence going to that office would be subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act,” the suit added.
During Mr Trump’s presidency, he frequently granted pardons to wealthy or well-connected individuals without the involvement of the Pardon Attorney, the Department of Justice official who is charged with reviewing petitions for executive clemency and making recommendations as to whether a given petition should be granted.
No evidence has ever emerged that Mr Trump or Mr Giuliani were ever compensated for any presidential pardon granted during Mr Trump’s time in office, but Ms Dunphy’s allegation matches that made by another person who once sought a pardon from the then-president.
In August, The New York Times reported that former CIA officer John Kiriakou broached the topic with Mr Giuliani during a meeting at the Washington DC hotel Mr Trump’s company ran between 2016 and 2022.
Mr Kiriakou, who in 2012 was sentenced to nearly three years in prison for disclosing classified information, told the Times that one of Mr Giuliani’s associates at the meeting said the ex-New York City mayor could assist him — for a price.
“It’s going to cost $2 million — he’s going to want two million bucks,” he recalled the Giuliani associate as saying.
He also told the Times that he did not pursue a pardon through Mr Giuliani because he could not afford to pay him $2 million.
“I laughed. Two million bucks — are you out of your mind?” Kiriakou told the outlet. “Even if I had two million bucks, I wouldn’t spend it to recover a $700,000 pension,” he said.
Ted Goodman, a spokesperson for and adviser to Mr Giuliani, told The Independent in an email that the former New York mayor “unequivocally denies the allegations raised by Ms Dunphy”.
“Mayor Giuliani’s lifetime of public service speaks for itself and he will pursue all available remedies and counterclaims,” he added.
The Independent has reached out to Mr Trump’s team for comment.
Very misleading title... and all based on a sexual assault claim... which is also very likely nonsense. Trump gave up his salary every year as president. If he was actually selling pardons, don't you think everyone would have known about it? Hopefully you can see this is complete nonsense.

Unlike other lists created by Democrats showing Republicans, we have a very strict requirement that the individuals in question have either confessed or been convicted of a crime. More specifically, this list does not include duplicates, fake names, and fake individuals. All situations listed in this document have been independently verified for their accuracy and truth. This list does not contain home-makers, protestors, religious individuals, political activists, stay-at-home-moms, and people who simply vote for a particular party like most anti-Republican lists created by Democrats do.

You link was posted three hours ago. Bombshell ? Where did I hear that phrase before ? I remember. Daily during the Trump Russian collusion farce.
Interesting. The Durham Report is out and not looking good for leftists. They need a distraction.
Many conservatives have been defending against the false allegations leveled at Donald Trump for many years.
You keep asking us to repeat our explanations, over and over. This is either a distraction or a result of your failing memory. I suspect it is both.
Your blind hatred for good, honest people has destroyed your ability to understand. You will just have to live that way.
IF THERE WERE ANY '' good, honest people '' ON THE RIGHT
why can't they see the rump is a lying scum not a savior
a nixon rerun or worse
I do not see any real explanations just endless what abouts cast on others with some saying they love him despite his actions cheating raping con scum
btw ''the false allegations leveled at Donald Trump'' keep getting CONvictions in COURT AND the lies of the rump keep get THROWN OUT OF COURT WHILE 600+ and counting followers now CONVICTS ALSO
BLIND HATE IS SELDOM GRANTED SO MANY COURT VICTORY'S maybe you are totally wrong and it is truth not hate I post here as the legal courts are now showing nation wide with CONvictions and very few not guilty verdicts

Years of allegations by the Left, consistently disproven over time, but some folks continue to believe the horse hockey whenever it floats to the top of the Porta-Potty.

One would think they would see the pattern....
? why not just exit the porta-potty that is the rump wing of the Gop
pattern recognition is very important
claiming things that are not true has never been a long term winner fools some some of the time but never all all of the time but that looks to be all the rump has BS trying to fool people with gold PLATING on the crappie
In todays age the truth does not matter. Once something goes viral on social media there is no putting it back in the box. Guilty until you can prove your innocence. Politicians know this, they have been abusing this for a long time. There use to be serious consequences. Now its just oh well on to the next lie.
The internet (social media) has doomed us, can't wait for some third tier support analyst to put in the wrong parameters for some AI and wipe all of us out.

Ethics is lost on so many people.
most people who bang on about ethics mean the ethics of others is the problem not their own desire to limit the freedoms of others and very few really practice the ideas they preach
IF THERE WERE ANY '' good, honest people '' ON THE RIGHT ...
Kind of a broad brush, don't you think?
To tell the truth, "left-leaning" people are the most intolerant bunch of arseholes I've ever seen. (Not all of them. Just in general.) You are just another one of them.
Blow me.

Why don't you tell us about the freedoms that Donald Trump took from you? Tell us exactly what personal freedom you no longer have because of President Donald Trump. Show us where the "rich man" hurt you.
You are still allowed to wear your Ernesto Guevara T-shirt, but I'll bet some around Miami would not be impressed.

Donald Trump made no laws against any religion. He did not demand that you respect any cult.
Donald Trump understands the First Amendment. It is the Left that wants to restrict the rights guaranteed therein.
It is the Left that mandates respect. Oh, and also Kim Jung Un. But he is also a Leftist, a Communist, a deluded little troll.
No one cares about your "religion". It is you who constantly vomits hatred for the religion of others. You are the one who harbors paranoid delusions. No one is "out to get you. No one cares.

In this case the "detecting" part of it wasn't exactly difficult, however the exposure is concise and well ststed.

I could go on and on.

mr paine would not like the rump at all

and he was an atheist who hated all religious delusions and censorship
Nope!
Thomas Paine was not an atheist. he believed in Christianity and the Bible, but he did not believe in organized religion because he believed it was corruptible.
You can be sure... Thomas Paine is the antithesis of the Democrat party... he would probably die of a stroke if given a glimpse of the corruption among the Democrats.

Tell us Adam Shifft, that you have the proof that they did offer two million dollar pardons? Are you suggesting tax fraud ?
