Rudy Giuliani Ordered To Pay $148 Million To Georgia Election Workers He Defamed
I can’t stop crying/laughing. He’ll appeal this and it’ll drag on for a couple years, but America’s Ghoul is completely finished, finally. Via CNBC:
A federal jury on Friday ordered Rudy Giuliani to pay over $148 million to two Georgia election workers for falsely claiming they committed ballot fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
The plaintiffs in the case, Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, who are mother and daughter, sued Giuliani in 2021 for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress and civil conspiracy.
