What happened

Donald Trump ally Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday agreed to pay approximately $400,000 to a financial adviser hired by his creditors, including former Georgia election workers who won nearly $150 million in a defamation suit against the former New York City mayor late last year. The payment for the adviser's administrative fees is "tied to" Giuliani's bankruptcy case and paves the "way for its dismissal," The Washington Post said.
