You. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire editor in chief John Bickley. It's Thursday, December 21, and this is your morning wire afternoon update. Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani filed for bankruptcy today, just days after being ordered to pay $148,000,000 in a defamation lawsuit brought against him by two former election workers. The section workers claimed that his alleged targeting of them led to death threats that made them fear for their lives. In a filing, Giuliani listed over $150,000,000 in existing and potential debts. That includes around $1 million in tax liabilities and money he owes to lawyers. The biggest debt, however, is the 148,000,000 Giuliani was ordered to pay a week ago. Harvard University reported several more instances of possible plagiarism in President Claudine Gay's academic work on Wednesday as the House continues its investigation into the school. Daily Wire reporter Amanda Prestigamo has more.

House leadership is demanding to know whether students and the leaders of the Ivy League school are being held to the same standard on plagiarism. The Harvard Crimson reports that the school's highest governing body released a review on Wednesday evening, and it stated that Gay will request corrections from Harvard's office of the provost to her phd dissertation. During additional assessments, the university found more instances of duplicative language that were absent of appropriate citation. This all comes just one week after Harvard said Gay's work didn't violate their standards for research misconduct. The university president then requested four corrections, which would insert citations and quotation marks that were omitted in two articles, the.

Mother of an israeli man taken hostage by Hamas, who was mistakenly killed by israeli troops, recorded an unforgettable message of support for the Israeli Defense Force. Iris Haim's son Yotam, who was seized by terrorists on October 7, was killed on December 15 along with two other hostages. They were mistaken by IDF soldiers as a threat. Instead of condemning the troops, Haim recorded a message of support. Here's a bit from that. In her message, she addresses the soldiers, saying, quote, I wanted to tell you that I love you very much and I hug you from afar. I know that everything that happened is absolutely not your fault and nobody's fault except that of Hamas.

More than a dozen people were killed and many more injured after a shooting at a university in Prague today, according to police. The suspect has been killed and at least 23 people were injured as the chaos unfolded. Witnesses say they heard shots and saw people running from Prague's old town across the Charles Bridge. Police say they still don't have a motive. A federal judge has blocked a California law that would have banned carrying guns in most public places from taking effect in the state. The judge ruled that the law violated the Second Amendment. The law, which was set to take effect January 1, would have prohibited carrying firearms in 26 places, including public parks, playgrounds, churches, banks and zoos. The ban would have applied to anyone whether they had a permit to carry or not.
