Rudy Giuliani Ordered to Pay $150 Million for Defaming Georgia Election Workers

A jury in Washington, DC, has ordered Rudy Giuliani to pay nearly $150 million to two Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss, for defamation and emotional distress caused by false claims Giuliani made about them following the 2020 election. The jury also awarded $75 million in punitive damages. Freeman and Moss described the devastating impact of the lies on their personal and professional lives, including receiving threatening messages. Giuliani, who vowed to appeal, had failed to respond to parts of their lawsuit and was found liable for defamation. The case highlights the consequences of spreading false information and the potential financial repercussions for those involved.
