NEWS: Former Giuliani Employee Files Lawsuit Alleging Presidential Pardons

A former employee of Rudy Giuliani, President Trump's personal attorney during the last two years of his administration, has filed a comprehensive lawsuit accusing Giuliani of discussing the sale of presidential pardons and outlining plans to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The 70-page complaint, filed in a New York state court on Monday by Noelle Dunphy, further alleges instances of sexual assault, harassment, and discriminatory remarks by Giuliani.
Dunphy, who worked for Giuliani starting in January 2019, claimed that she endured sexual assault and harassment while being subjected to unpaid wages, a hostile work environment, and derogatory comments. She asserts that she possesses recorded evidence of various interactions with Giuliani, documenting his alleged misconduct.
The lawsuit seeks $10 million in compensatory and punitive damages. According to Dunphy, she was initially promised a yearly salary of $1 million, in addition to expenses and pro bono legal representation for a domestic abuse case involving her former partner. However, after she was hired, Giuliani purportedly concealed her employment, paid her a meager sum of around $12,000, and only partially reimbursed her business expenses. Dunphy claims to be owed $1,988,000 in unpaid wages before being terminated in January 2021.
Giuliani's spokesperson promptly refuted the allegations in a written statement, asserting that the former mayor of New York City unequivocally denies Dunphy's claims. The statement further indicated that Giuliani intends to pursue all available legal remedies and counterclaims to address the accusations brought against him.
In her lawsuit, Dunphy also alleges that Giuliani engaged in discussions concerning presidential pardons. She claimed that Giuliani asserted his "immunity" and mentioned selling pardons for $2 million, with a purported agreement to split the proceeds with President Trump. Notably, the lawsuit does not provide any evidence of actual pardons being sold. Subscribe for more content like this.

Justin Kelton, Dunphy's attorney, indicated on MSNBC that while there is no recording of the pardon conversation, they anticipate corroborating evidence to emerge. Kelton mentioned that the lawsuit states another person was present during the conversation—Lev Parnas, an associate of Giuliani—and Dunphy's legal team intends to interview Parnas regarding the matter.
As of now, the spokesperson for former President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign has not responded to requests for comment on the lawsuit. It is worth noting that before leaving office in 2021, Trump pardoned 74 individuals and commuted the sentences of 70 others.
Dunphy's allegations extend beyond discussions of pardons, as she also claims that Giuliani provided insight into plans to overturn the 2020 election if Trump were to lose. According to the lawsuit, Giuliani purportedly revealed intentions to argue "voter fraud" and assert Trump's victory despite the election results.
Giuliani's law license in New York was suspended in June following a ruling by a state appeals court that found him guilty of making "demonstrably false and misleading" statements regarding voter fraud in the 2020 election. In December, he faced allegations from an attorney disciplinary committee in Washington, D.C., which accused him of "weaponizing his law license" in a failed election fraud lawsuit.
Additionally, Giuliani is reportedly under criminal investigation in Georgia for his involvement in attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state. The prosecutor in that case has stated that charging decisions will be disclosed later this summer.
The lawsuit filed by Dunphy adds another layer of controversy to Giuliani's already tumultuous legal battles, while also shedding light on the inner workings and discussions within Trump's inner circle during the final years of his presidency.
