At a bankruptcy court hearing in New York this week, Rudy Giuliani said the Republican National Committee and Donald Trump‘s 2020 presidential campaign owe him roughly $2 million in legal fees.

Trump is now Giuliani’s s co-defendant in a sweeping criminal indictment in Georgia alleging that they and more than a dozen co-defendants attempted to overturn election results in that state in 2020. Nevertheless, the onetime New York mayor told his creditors in a New York City federal bankruptcy court Wednesday that when Trump’s campaign asked him to look into claims of election fraud — none of which turned out to be true — he took up the offer.

Expenses were paid for, according to reporting Wednesday from The Independent, but Giuliani said in the courtroom an important element was missing.

Once he “took over” the search for fraudulent votes, Giuliani told U.S. Trustee attorney Andrea Schwartz, “[i]t was my understanding that I would be paid by the campaign for my legal work and my expenses to be paid.”

But, he said: “When we submitted the invoice for payment, they just paid the expenses. Not all but most. They never paid the legal fees.”

He “never got a salary,” however, he said.
