Late last week, a document dispute in the defamation case brought by Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss against Rudy Giuliani revealed that “America’s Mayor” used the email address [email protected] as Trump’s chief election denying gadfly. It’s an effort that ended up tanking his law license in New York and DC, so hopefully Trump paid him handsomely for his troubles.
Oh… wait Trump stiffed him. Well, there’s always Cameo.
Keeping Law School Accessible When Federal Loans Fall Short
As federal borrowing caps tighten financing options for law students, one organization is stepping in to negotiate the terms they can't secure alone.
This also resolves an earlier question from the January 6 Committee suit against Mark Meadows where correspondence related to an abortive attempt to gin up the legal authority to go around seizing voting machines included ol’ rhelen0528 among the carbon copies.
It seems “Helen” was truly the Forrest Gump of failed coups. What do you know? Maybe in one very, very, very, very, very limited circumstance drag CAN be a threat to democracy.
As covered by TPM, Rudy testified about the Helen account in the Freeman/Moss case earlier this year.
“That was my main Gmail account since I had Gmail,” Giuliani said in a deposition on March 1, 2023. “And somehow others were created for specific purposes, but that would cover 95 percent of any email I had and probably every important one.”

It’s easy to paint Giuliani’s efforts in the least favorable light after — well, everything — using a non-obvious handle probably isn’t a sign that he nefariously hoped to conceal his election work. To think he employs dummy email addresses in an effort to frustrate future investigations imputes a whole lot of technological savvy on a guy who butt-dials reporters. Running his personal email through a non-obvious username isn’t the worst idea. He’s one of the most famous political figures of the past 30 years so imagine how annoying it would be for him if his primary email account were something every random person in the country could easily flood like [email protected]. Of course this guy runs most of his personal correspondence through an alias.
But it is a bit shady that he’s using his personal email address in these conversations AT ALL.
You’d hope the president’s lawyer would conduct official business with an actual business address. Whether his personal account is rudygiuliani or RudyNYC or neverforgetTM doesn’t matter — why isn’t he doing all this through “[email protected]” or something like that? There are so many ethical and confidentiality concerns with using a personal email account for what was — at the time that he had fully access to a law license — legal advice.
So give rhelen0528 a pass, and be a lot more leery of the gmail part.
