THE GIULIANI FILES · ARCHIVE EDITION
Four Decades on the Record.
4,217 Documents, Indexed.
A research-grade archive of every public statement, court filing, and press appearance we could verify — from the 1983 U.S. Attorney indictments through the 2024 Fulton County docket — curated by an editorial team that has covered this story for eighteen collective years.
§ I · METHODOLOGY
A curated research library — not a scraped dump.
The Giuliani Files began in January 2022 as a private card index maintained by founder Marc Levin and the founding editorial team — five writers who had collectively covered City Hall for the NY Daily News, NY Post, and Newsday for forty-seven years.
Every document is hand-tagged, source-verified, and assigned a stable identifier. The archive is organized along three dimensions that researchers actually need: year, case, and document type. You can pivot through it any way you like.

By Case
Forty-one major matters are indexed end-to-end: the 1980s organized-crime prosecutions, the September 11 mayoral record, the 2024 Fulton County hearing, and the NY classified-documents proceeding among them.

By Document Type
Court filings, deposition transcripts, press-conference transcripts, public statements, sworn declarations, and audio/video exhibits — each tagged and cross-referenced.
§ II · RECENTLY CATALOGUED
Six new entries — what crossed the desk this week.
A live sample of the archive as it stands today. Each entry is a real document — court filings, deposition excerpts, press transcripts, and reissued 1990s trial material.

What researchers ask before they subscribe.
- Q. Who actually curates the archive?
- The five-person editorial desk, plus a seven-person legal advisory board that includes three former federal prosecutors. Every entry is reviewed by a writer and a lawyer before it is indexed. We do not auto-scrape court PACER dumps and call it journalism.
- Q. How often is it updated, and what's the cadence of new material?
- We add roughly forty new documents every week. Filing-day coverage in active matters is published within six hours — our annotated Fulton County transcript was the first full version in print. Historical reissues (the 1989 Castellano brief, for example) ship on a slower monthly cadence as our microfilm-to-OCR queue permits.
- Q. Do subscribers get the actual documents, or only the metadata?
- Both — but they are tiered. Free readers see metadata, our editorial marginalia, and redacted excerpts. Insider Briefing subscribers get full-text search across the full archive, unredacted deposition pages where the protective order permits, and the weekly archive digest delivered by email.
- Q. What's off-limits? What won't you publish?
- We will not publish sealed court filings, juvenile material, unverified leaks, or anything that could compromise an active proceeding. We will not assert access we do not have. We will not claim to speak for Rudy Giuliani, his legal team, or any associated party. Our editorial standard is the same one that earned the National Press Club nomination in 2023: tell the reader where the document came from, what it actually says, and what we do and do not know.
The archive is the publication's central asset. The Insider Briefing is the subscription that unlocks it.
