Rudy Giuliani is teasing a “major exposé” about Joe Biden on the day the former vice president is expected to deliver his Democratic National Committee acceptance speech.
A series of tweets over the past couple days suggest Giuliani will make claims about the 77-year-old Biden’s mental state, which the Trump lawyer and former New York City mayor has questioned in the past.

“Tomorrow we will expose information that is vital to protect the proper functioning of our Republic,” Giuliani tweeted on Wednesday. A day prior, he tweeted a photo of himself reading the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders along with the message: “Currently doing research on a major exposé. This will completely shake the 2020 Presidential election. Stay tuned.”

Even as his reelection campaign has incorporated attacks on Biden’s mental acuity into its official messaging, President Trump, 74, has also faced questions and criticisms about his emotional and cognitive state. In fact, George Conway, the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway and co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, shared images of the same APA manual in March 2019 in tweets suggesting the president has narcissistic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder.
Giuliani joined Trump’s legal team in the spring of 2018 during the Russia investigation. He became a central figure in what amounted to the impeachment and later the Senate acquittal of Trump with his public inquiry into ties between the Biden family and Ukraine. Late last year, it was reported that federal prosecutors were investigating Giuliani for campaign finance violations and failure to register as a foreign agent, but no overt actions have been taken against him.
Biden, who has picked Sen. Kamala Harris of California as his running mate, was named the Democratic presidential nominee on Tuesday.
