"Judge rules Giuliani liable in defamation lawsuit from Georgia election workers"

A federal judge has held Rudy Giuliani liable in a defamation lawsuit brought by two Georgia election workers, ordering him to pay tens of thousands of dollars in lawyers' fees. The judge entered a default judgment against Giuliani after he ignored his duty to turn over requested information. The lawsuit accused Giuliani of falsely stating that the election workers engaged in fraud while counting ballots. The ruling adds to Giuliani's legal troubles as he faces charges in a racketeering case related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia. Giuliani will have a final opportunity to produce the requested information or face additional sanctions.
