TL;DR

US District Judge Beryl Howell rebuked Rudy Giuliani, former lawyer for Donald Trump, for making "quite defamatory" comments about two Georgia election workers during his defamation damages trial. Giuliani had claimed that his previous statements about the women were true, including the false claim that they were involved in changing votes. The judge warned that Giuliani's comments could support another defamation claim and questioned his attorney about the inconsistency in his statements. Giuliani has already been found liable for defamation and owes the women over $230,000. They are now seeking tens of millions of dollars, alleging emotional and reputational harm.
