"Judge Demands Immediate $148 Million Payment from Giuliani in Defamation Trial"
A federal judge has ordered Rudolph Giuliani to immediately pay $148 million to two former Georgia election workers for falsely accusing them of manipulating ballots after the 2020 election. The judge cited concerns that Giuliani might hide his assets if given more time. However, there is no indication that Giuliani has the funds to pay the amount owed. The decision adds to Giuliani's legal troubles, as he faces an array of woes for his efforts to keep former President Donald J. Trump in office. The election workers requested expedited payment, citing Giuliani's history of failing to obey court orders and his financial difficulties. The judge agreed, noting Giuliani's record of disregarding orders and attempts to conceal assets.
