Giuliani Defamation Verdict

🟤 Election Tampering · Dec 15, 2023

Summary

A federal jury ordered Rudy Giuliani to pay $148 million in damages (later reduced to $146 million) to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, Georgia election workers Giuliani had falsely accused of election fraud using selectively edited surveillance footage. The January 6 Committee documented how the flood of racist death threats against the women followed Giuliani’s public accusations. Giuliani declared bankruptcy to avoid payment, was held in contempt twice, and ultimately settled in January 2025. He conceded he made false statements about them.
