    Lawyer and politician Rudy Giuliani suffered injuries in a car crash in Manchester, New Hampshire, on August 30. The former advisor to President Donald Trump was traveling in the passenger seat of a Ford Bronco when the car was hit from behind, as per BBC.

    Although Giuliani’s accident took place in New Hampshire, the former mayor of New York City filed to be recognized as a domicile of Palm Beach County in the state of Florida in 2024. According to Palm Beach Daily News, Giuliani’s permanent residence is a condo in the Southlake building in Palm Beach.

    Rudy Giuliani, who served as a campaign lawyer for Donald Trump’s Presidential run in 2020, spread false claims about two election workers in Georgia, alleging that they worked to rig the vote count in favor of Trump’s opponent, Joe Biden, according to Newsweek.

     

    The election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, filed a defamation lawsuit against the former mayor. In 2023, Giuliani was ordered to pay Freeman and Moss more than $148 million for defaming them by his claims that they committed election fraud, as per The New York Times.

    By late 2024 and early 2025, Giuliani was ordered to surrender his assets to the Georgia election workers, which included his homes in Florida, New York, and his Mercedes car, noted Newsweek. At the time, the news outlet accessed court documents according to which Giuliani commented on why he chose Florida as his primary residence and shared that he would prefer to retain his $3.5 million condo in the state, as he is able to smoke cigars freely there. Newsweek noted that the former lawyer, in a pretrial deposition, said:

    “I have a balcony and I used to smoke cigars—used to smoke cigars here [Florida] too, in the courtyard and they never complained. In New York my gosh, if I even took a cigar out, they would complain.”

    By mid-January, Giuliani reached a settlement with Freeman and Moss, according to which he could retain his Florida residence and his possessions, according to Palm Beach Daily News. The promise that Giuliani would not defame Freeman and Moss again was also a part of the settlement, noted the news publication.

    At the time, Giuliani responded to the settlement and, according to Palm Beach Daily News, said:

    "I am satisfied with and have no grievances relating to the result we have reached. I have been able to retain my New York coop and Florida Condominium and all of my personal belongings."
