Rudy Giuliani's Defamation Trial: Accused of Damaging Georgia Election Workers

Rudy Giuliani, former New York Mayor and lawyer for former President Donald Trump's reelection campaign, is facing a defamation trial over false accusations of election fraud against Georgia poll workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Shaye Moss. The women claim they were harassed and threatened after Giuliani named them during state legislative hearings and in news interviews. U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled Giuliani liable for defamation in August and ordered him to pay legal fees and sanctions. This trial is part of a series of civil and criminal cases related to the 2020 election. Giuliani also faces disbarment proceedings in Washington over his false allegations of voter fraud.
