Giuliani Sued For Having Man Arrested Over Back Pat

The New York Daily News reports:

A Staten Island ShopRite employee has sued former mayor Rudy Giuliani over an incident that landed the store worker in jail overnight on charges that were quickly dismissed. It’s the second time this week Giuliani has been sued in New York City.

Daniel Gill’s Manhattan Federal Court lawsuit demands $2 million from Giuliani for colluding with the NYPD to throw him behind bars on a false charge of assaulting an elderly person after he patted him on the back and called him a “scumbag.”

Widely-seen CCTV footage of the incident, which happened as Giuliani was campaigning for his son Andrew’s gubernatorial run, painted a different picture than what Giuliani described as being “hit on the back, as if a boulder hit me.”

On Monday, a former Giuliani staffer filed a $10 million suit, claiming he forced her into blowjobs while he was on the phone with Trump and that he offered to sell pardons for $2 million. Giuliani also allegedly described his interest in spankings and BDSM.

Rudy is now being sued over one of my favorite tweets of all-time. Rudy went on Curtis Sliwa’s radio show and described this attack. Then we got the store video and it didn’t match what he said. So we put his interview over top of the tape. pic.twitter.com/93Cauz6ptD
