President Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani can’t claim he lacks the money to maintain estranged wife Judith Nathan’s lifestyle amid their split after agreeing to represent the president for free, her lawyer argued in court Wednesday.

Giuliani and Nathan appeared before Judge Michael Katz in Manhattan Supreme Court for about 90 minutes, during which numerous embarrassing details about their relationship were revealed—as well as bombshell information on their income and spending.

Nathan’s lawyer revealed she’s seeking $63,000 in spousal support on top of housing costs for six homes and incidental expenses—including membership fees for multiple country clubs—as the divorce proceeds.

Giuliani has balked at this request, her legal team claims.

“Mr. Giuliani has taken it upon himself to radically change the financial status quo that existed prior to this action,” said Bernard Clair, who represents Nathan, calling it “conduct that can only be characterized as SIDS...sudden income deficit syndrome.”

Only after Nathan, his wife of 15 years, hit Giuliani with divorce papers in April did he start claiming “financial trouble,” Clair said.

Tax returns discussed in court indicate that Giuliani, who runs a security services firm, earned $7.9 million in 2016 and $9.5 million in 2017, Clair told the court. Giuliani’s expenses are approximately $232,000 monthly while Nathan’s total about $238,000.

Clair claims that Giuliani’s trying to stiff Nathan after spending more than $286,000 on his alleged mistress, New Hampshire hospital administrator Maria Rosa Ryan, since April.

1. Is it me?

Am I the only one who cannot fathom having monthly living expenses of $238,000, a MONTH??? That much would keep me going for a couple 2 or 3 years.

I guess most goes toward those 6 houses.

6. Between the two that's what? Around 5.6 million a year in expenses.

He's crying poverty and she's crying need?

Do either of them know how disgusting they sound?

7. More proof that a steeply progressive tax system is a good thing.

There is an overabundance of disgusting wealthy people.

Our tax laws ought to discourage that sort of behavior.

8. This might explain Rudy's absence from the talk shows

Although his appearance under these circumstances might actually lead to some interesting questions and answers for a change.
