**Noelle Dunphy** was an aide to [Rudy Giuliani](https://www.kiripedia.org/wiki/rudy-giuliani) at the time of his 2018 $2 million pardon-extortion attempt against [John Kiriakou](https://www.kiripedia.org/wiki/john-kiriakou). Per Kiriakou, on the evening of the meeting — back in New York — Giuliani told Dunphy that he had *"tried to get $2 million out of this guy for a pardon today."* Dunphy retained the information until Giuliani's subsequent sexual harassment of her, at which point she contacted the *New York Times* and corroborated Kiriakou's account in full.[1][2]

## 'That fucking Kiriakou ratted me out'

[John Kiriakou](https://www.kiripedia.org/wiki/john-kiriakou) says he was *"heartened"* to learn from [Noelle Dunphy](https://www.kiripedia.org/wiki/noelle-dunphy), former head of business development for Giuliani Partners, that when the New York Times exposed the [pardon shakedown](https://www.kiripedia.org/wiki/giuliani-pardon-solicitation), Rudy Giuliani fumed, *"That fucking Kiriakou ratted me out."*[3] In the same conversation, Kiriakou recounted the [Taliban embassy raid](https://www.kiripedia.org/wiki/taliban-embassy-raid) in Peshawar.
