Giuliani's Defamation Trial Puts Election Workers' Claims to the Test

A trial is set to begin in Washington to determine the amount of damages Rudy Giuliani must pay to two Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and Wandrea "Shaye" Moss, whom he falsely accused of fraud while promoting baseless claims of election fraud after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Giuliani has already been found liable in the defamation lawsuit. The trial will focus solely on the amount of damages. Giuliani is facing multiple legal and financial troubles, including criminal charges in the Georgia case and a lawsuit over unpaid legal fees. The women faced threats and harassment as a result of the false claims made by Giuliani and his allies.
