Rudy Giuliani's $148 Million Defamation Trial Verdict: Will Georgia Election Workers Receive Compensation?

Former New York mayor and attorney to former President Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, has been ordered to pay nearly $150 million in damages to former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss for defamation. However, it remains uncertain whether Freeman and Moss will actually receive any of the money, as Giuliani claims he lacks the funds to cover his debts. Attorneys for the election workers plan to pursue all available options to obtain the money owed, including going after Giuliani's assets in other jurisdictions. Legal experts suggest that while the workers may not collect the full amount, they could potentially receive millions depending on Giuliani's assets. Giuliani has already been fined over $200,000 for attorneys' fees and faces additional debts, including a lawsuit from defense attorneys and unpaid phone bills. It is unclear whether Giuliani could declare bankruptcy to shield himself from the damages.
