Rudy Giuliani's Defamation Trial: Accusations and Damages in Georgia Election Case

Former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani could face up to $43.5 million in damages in a defamation lawsuit filed by two Georgia election workers. U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell has already found Giuliani liable for defamatory statements against the workers and ordered him to pay $230,000 in legal fees and sanctions. The trial will determine the amount of damages for violent threats and harassment the workers received. Giuliani, who is facing multiple legal risks including state prosecution in Georgia and being an unindicted co-conspirator in Trump's federal charges, denies all claims of wrongdoing. The trial will also shed light on the false claims that became central to Trump's efforts to stay in power.
