Rudy Giuliani's Actions Result in $47 Million in Damages to Georgia Workers

A reputation expert testified in Rudy Giuliani's defamation trial that the reputational damage caused by Giuliani's false claims against two Georgia election workers would cost up to $47.5 million to repair. Giuliani falsely accused the workers of manipulating election results and called them criminals. The expert estimated that the falsehoods reached up to 250 million people and recommended a "corrective" campaign to address the damage. Giuliani has been held liable for defamation in the case, and the trial is focused on determining damages. The ongoing mentions of the false statements online make it harder to repair the damage, according to the expert.
