Rudy Giuliani's Debt Piles Up After Judge Rules He Must Pay Georgia Election Workers In Defamation

Lawsuit As Former Backers Flake on Him

In a new legal blow against Rudy Giuliani, a federal judge has ordered the former New York City mayor to pay fines and face a trial in a defamation case involving two Georgia election workers.

U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled in favor of Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss by default, concluding that Giuliani was liable for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and civil conspiracy. Now, he must pay sanctions to them both.

Freeman and Moss both sued Giuliani for defamation in December 2021 after he made and promoted false and inflammatory statements that the pair committed election fraud and stole votes in Fulton County, Georgia, after the 2020 presidential election.

Giuliani didn’t do much to curry favor in the case after refusing to turn over discovery documents. He did concede last month that the statements he made about Freeman and Moss were defamatory, but Judge Howell said those concessions “hold more holes than Swiss cheese” after Giuliani made stipulations to try to move past the discovery obligations while working to dismiss the case altogether.
