This is likely false. According to SightEngine the post is 99% likely to be using an AI generated image to back up its claim. I was unable to find any information on Rudy Giuliani's whereabouts on New Year's Eve 2025. Seeing as this post links no source for the claim, it is also likely based on nothing.
No available information

Posting

The title is the "main claim" that you're trying to factcheck.
