More Sex On The City: Police Chauffeured Judith Nathan's Friends

Giuliani Campaign: Nathan Security Wasn't Misused

NEW YORK (CBS) ―

The Rudy Giuliani campaign has denied allegations that Judith Nathan, Giuliani's one-time mistress and current wife, abused police protection during his tenure as mayor.

The campaign issued a statement, saying: "That assertion is absolutely ridiculous. The security detail was only used to protect the personal safety of Mrs. Giuliani."


At the dawn of 2001, Nathan was Giuliani's good friend and was receiving a blanket of police protection. It was an unusual circumstance, as his wife, first lady Donna Hanover, was still living at Gracie Mansion with their children.

But the mayor was unapologetic, citing security concerns.

"If you had any concern for people's safety, you'd have the decency to leave it alone. You should be ashamed of yourselves," the former mayor said back in 2001.

Six years later, presidential candidate Giuliani is facing questions about that security. A source involved with the mayor's operations at the time tells CBS 2 HD that Nathan took flagrant advantage of that police car and driver.

The source says Nathan forced police to chauffeur her friends and family around the city -- even when she wasn't in the car.

That set off alarms with ethics watchdogs.

"The rules are clear, you can't use city resources for private reasons," said Gene Russianoff of the New York Public Interest Research Group. "And if you're using a city car, a police driven car to chauffeur around relatives, unless they're explicitly protected and their deemed to be the subject of potential security threats, it's just wrong."

Nathan's detail was approved by the NYPD after a stranger made an unspecified threat to her. The commissioner at the time was Bernard Kerik, who was recently indicted on tax fraud charges in an unrelated matter.

"It wasn't about her being the mayor's girlfriend," Kerik said. "The person spoke to her by name and made comments to her."

1. More Bootygate

K & R.

Who ordered the news blackout today? Not a word on MSM.

[Beaverhausen]

3. I assume KO will be on it, at least

but why is the MSM ignoring this? You'd think they'd be eating it up!?!?

[Gabi Hayes]

11. I've been saying it here since February: THAT is why he's going to win it all.

the media will NOT go after stories like this. the only way legs will sprout is if there's an indictment, or if Kerik gets enough pressure to sing. if that happens, I think something will 'happen' to Bernie beforehand.

Just remember all the stories out there WRT B*** in 99-2000. the M$M REFUSED resolutely to cover any of them. he's their boy now, and they won't report anythimg above the absolute minimum, then let it die immediately, so they can say they 'covered' it, then call it 'old news.'

hope I'm wrong, but.......

2. That's why New Yorkers always say ...

... you can't find a cop when you need one. Apparently the NYPD is completely bogged-down with providing personal security to every resident who has ever been the victim of an unspecified threat from a stranger.



Try again Rudy ...

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

5. The "friends" of his girlfriend?

How does Giuliani justify that as having anything to do with himself or his office? Unless maybe he and Nathan were having threesomes.
