Summary

Today’s Headlines: Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani faced a tumultuous week, culminating in his filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after being slapped with a $150 million defamation judgment for falsely accusing Georgia election workers of wrongdoing. The two women he defamed facilitated his financial downfall, though Giuliani is expected to make prompt payments despite his bankruptcy filing. Meanwhile, a tragic incident unfolded at a Prague university where a 24-year-old gunman, also suspected in earlier shooting deaths, killed more than a dozen people. In Iowa, a Des Moines Register/NBC News poll revealed that 42 percent of Republican voters were more likely to support Donald Trump after his xenophobic comments comparing immigrants to "poison in the blood." Lastly, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy submitted his resignation from Congress, effective December 31, concluding a challenging year for him as he plans to focus on fundraising for Republican candidates in the future.
