n June 1983, Rudy Giuliani moves back to New York City. He takes a job as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and sets his sights on going after organized crime. He’ll use his time as prosecutor to go after the mob, which earns him a lot of media attention.
In May 1989, Giuliani has a new goal-to become the next mayor of New York City.
Join us as we try to find out why Giuliani was so obsessed with the mob - and how he used it to run for the city’s top job.
