"Giuliani Slapped with $148 Million Verdict in Election Workers' Defamation Trial"

Rudolph Giuliani has been ordered by a federal court in Washington to pay $148 million in damages to two former Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whom he had defamed by falsely accusing them of trying to steal the 2020 election from Donald J. Trump. The jury awarded the workers a combined $75 million in punitive damages, as well as compensatory damages and additional amounts for emotional suffering. Giuliani, who helped lead Trump's efforts to overturn the election, plans to appeal the decision and has refused to disclose his net worth. This case is part of a series of defamation lawsuits related to false claims about the 2020 election.
