Giuliani Accused Of 'Notorious Adultery'
NEW YORK, June 21, 2002
(AP) Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's estranged wife has filed for divorce, citing adultery.
The filing by Donna Hanover, 52, came more than a year and a half after Giuliani filed to divorce her, citing cruel and inhuman treatment.
Hanover's lawyer, Helene Brezinsky, said her client rejected the grounds on which Giuliani's divorce was based.
"If there's going to be a divorce, let's have the truth about why — Rudy's open and notorious adultery," she said.
Giuliani spokeswoman Sunny Mindel replied: "There is no purpose in responding to this mudslinging."
Hanover's filing came June 10 in State Supreme Court. During the last months of Giuliani's tenure, his girlfriend, Judith Nathan, became the city's de facto first lady and appeared with him at official functions.
Meanwhile, the judge hearing the divorce agreed Thursday to increase the amount Giuliani pays to support his two children with Hanover — Andrew, 16, and Caroline, 12 — and for other expenses.
The amount will be raised to $24,000 a month from $1,800 a month. The judge said the change was justified by Giuliani's own admission that this year his income from speaking engagements alone will exceed $8 million.
Hanover had asked for nearly $1 million a year in child support and other expenses.

Ouch
This creep was a womanizer before, during and since. And he wants to be prez? I don't think so!
Was Rudy's mistress on the government payroll (or working as a volunteer in his office)? Was Rudy sexuall propositioning coworkers (including using goons to bring women to his hotel room where he'd drop his pants and order them to "kiss it"?
Bill's was "Catastrophic Adultery"
This is sure to garnish some liberal votes for Rudy. Adulterers are their heros and role models.
You have the primaries to defeat him so work hard to do it.
Is adultery only a relevant issue when it can be used to defeat Democrats?

Well, that is all the MSM will have to work with basically. If adultery was a felony, half of Washington, DC, including BOTH of the Clintons, would be serving time.
The libs can be defeated on a hundred different issues, to say nothing of their crimes and corruption. It will simply take the right candidate to put it out in front of the mindless public.
Isn't she the one nut who did that outrageous play?
Oh I get it, you don't like Rudy..... OK now that is settled we can all get on with life.
Adultry had little to do with opposing Clinton. It had more to do with he is a lying liberal socialist.
"Notorious Adultery"?
Is there such a thing as "Honorable Adultery" or "Respectable Adultery"?
Of course - you could also bring up DIVORCE as a cohort of Adultry and call into question those who seek office who have had a divorce.....maybe even look into why any such divorce would be sought.....
Alcohol problems might also show a serious lack of character....
This sould totally eliminate everbody from our ranks.....maybe except Romney --- but then he is a Mormon
Rudy had better get used to these kind of charges. This is just the beginning. When Hillary's people get through with him, Bill will look like a saint.
I didn't know he payed child support...
makes me sympathetic.
