Besieged by creditors and with his income drying up, Rudolph W. Giuliani laid out an austerity program of sorts in January for a federal bankruptcy court.

He would stick to a $43,000-a-month budget, he said in court filings, roughly in line with the income he drew from his retirement accounts and Social Security. That amount would cover, among other expenses, $5,000 in alimony payments to his ex-wife Judith Giuliani, $1,050 for food and housekeeping supplies and $425 for “personal care products and services.” He was also obliged to cover $13,500 in...

Cotton said this wasn't surprising, citing what he said were "antisemitic elements" of the Democratic Party that have been allowed to...

She cited a New York Times investigation last month into MultiPlan’s dominance of the lucrative business of pricing...
