Courtroom Sketch Artist's Drawings Of Rudy Giuliani Looking Unhinged Are An Instant Classic

Courtroom artist Jane Rosenberg's latest sketches of the disbarred lawyer lashing out in court are truly iconic.

Courtroom sketch artist Jane Rosenberg's latest sketches of the disbarred former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani have gone viral after she captured him in remarkable detail lashing out in court.

Giuliani appeared in federal court in Manhattan for a case where he has been ordered to pay nearly $150 million to two Georgia election workers he defamed.


The ruling requires him to surrender significant assets, including a vintage 1980s Mercedes sports car and a luxury Manhattan apartment, to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. Giuliani was found to have falsely accused the two workers of ballot tampering during the 2020 presidential election.

Judge Louis Liman suggested that Giuliani had not fully complied with the order to turn over his assets, sparking an angry response from Giuliani, who complained the case had caused significant personal upheaval.

Liman expressed skepticism over Giuliani’s claim of difficulty obtaining paperwork to transfer ownership of the car. Leaning forward and pointing his finger at the judge, Giuliani insisted he had applied for the document, but it had not yet arrived.

Rosenberg's sketches caught the moment Giuliani spoke out of turn and scolded the judge with the following remark:

“Your implication that I have been not diligent about this is totally incorrect. I’m not impoverished. Everything I have is tied up."
"I don’t have a car, I don’t have a credit card, I don’t have cash. I can’t pay my bills.”

Liman scolded Giuliani for his outburst, warning Giuliani's attorneys that Giuliani is "not going to be permitted to speak and the court will take action" the next time he interrupts a hearing.

Rosenberg's sketches quickly went viral and were lauded for capturing Giuliani's fall from grace.



In an interview with CNN host Kaitlan Collins, Rosenberg said Giuliani was "losing it" in court and was even shouting orders at his defense team in the middle of the hearing:

“His decorum has certainly changed from when I sketched him 44 years ago as a prosecutor. He’s losing it. He was wild and I feel bad for anyone who represents him. He blurts out orders at his lawyers who are at the podium and, you know, he’s interrupting all the time.”

Rosenberg added:

“His attorney is turning around like he doesn’t know how to handle it. He’s in the middle of speaking to a judge at the podium and behind him he’s shouting orders."
“That was the attorney who just quit the day after that, and now he has a new attorney, and so this one tried to speak and when the judge told him he’s not allowed to speak anymore after he had that burst, he started shouting at him and pointing at him.”

When Collins asked what it was like to hear Giuliani say that he can't pay his bills, Rosenberg said she is "sure he’s managing okay, and these women who he’s defamed are not seeing much of it [the money Giuliani has been ordered to pay] at all.”

Liz Cheney Responds After Trump Says She Should 'Go To Jail' For Investigating Jan. 6 Attack

Former Wyoming Republican Representative Liz Cheney criticized President-elect Donald Trump after he told Meet the Press host Kristen Welker that Cheney and others on the House select committee that investigated the January 6 Capitol insurrection "should be jailed."

Cheney angered her own party and was ousted from her leadership position in the House of Representatives after she pushed back against Trump's falsehoods about the integrity of the 2020 election. She later served as Vice Chair of the House Select Committee on January 6, which resulted in her losing her primary to MAGA extremist Harriet Hageman, whom Trump endorsed.
