    Rudy Giuliani's bankruptcy hearing is devolving into chaos. After some fiery remarks from Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss's lawyer, Giuliani (who called into hearing) interrupted and said the lawyer was making "defamatory remarks." The judge threatened to cut off Giuliani's line.
    Less than an hour before the hearing, Giuliani changes positions again. Giuliani now wants to just dismiss his bankruptcy, rather than trying to convert it to Chapter 7 liquidation.

    George Santos made a brief appearance. He quickly left and walked the few blocks back to his car. He told me he was not coming back: “No, because you guys make it unbearable.”
