In a significant defamation case, Rudy Giuliani, the former Trump attorney, has been ordered to pay nearly $150 million to two Georgia election workers. The jury found Giuliani liable for defamation, awarding $75 million in punitive damages and $36 million each for compensatory damages and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The judgment stems from Giuliani's false claims that the election workers manipulated the vote count in Georgia to steal the election from Donald Trump.
The victims, Ruby Friedman and her daughter Shaye Moss, faced severe consequences, including harassment and threats, as a result of Giuliani's lies. Despite the verdict, Giuliani remains defiant, expressing no regrets and planning to appeal. The victims, however, see their struggle as serving a greater purpose, maintaining faith throughout the ordeal. Giuliani's ability to pay the awarded sum remains uncertain, given his numerous legal challenges and potential bankruptcy.
