WASHINGTON (AP) — If anything can tarnish Rudy Giuliani's armor, criminal charges against his police commissioner might do it.
Giuliani, the former New York mayor, has established himself as the front-runner in the Republican presidential race, defying predictions that his views on abortion and gay rights and his three marriages would repel conservative primary voters.
Now, his former protege Bernard Kerik may face federal criminal charges including tax evasion and corruption. The case against Kerik — Giuliani's friend, business partner and former police commissioner — is an opportunity for critics to question Giuliani's judgment.
"Rudy Giuliani has a few Achilles' heels, and Bernard Kerik is definitely one of them," said Tobe Berkovitz, interim dean at Boston University's college of communications. "The question is, can one of his opponents capitalize on it?"
