Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, claims he is too broke to pay his estranged wife alimony despite making $9.5 million last year, the New York Post reports.

The lawyer for Judith Giuliani described the Trump lawyer as experiencing “sudden income deficit syndrome.”

“The symptoms of the SIDS program is front and center: first, Mr. Giuliani claims financial trouble, financial trouble that existed only post-commencement [of the divorce proceeding], according to his statements,” the lawyer said in court. “His actions and his finances and his expenses don’t comport with the claim of his income diminishment.”
