Georgia Election Workers Push for Contempt Ruling Against Giuliani

Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss have asked a federal judge to hold Rudy Giuliani in contempt for continuing to make false claims about them on his podcast, despite a court order to stop. Giuliani, who has already been found liable for defamation against the workers, has turned over some assets as part of a damages case but continues to assert baseless claims of election fraud. His spokesperson argues this is an attack on Giuliani's freedom of speech.

"Judge Demands Immediate Payment of $148 Million from Rudy Giuliani in Georgia Election Worker Lawsuit"

A federal judge has ruled that former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss can seek enforcement of their $146 million financial judgment against Rudy Giuliani, as there is good reason to believe he will not comply. The decision allows Freeman and Moss to go after Giuliani's assets in New York and Florida. Giuliani was found liable for repeatedly defaming the workers by falsely accusing them of election fraud. The judge reduced the verdict by $2 million to reflect a previous settlement. Giuliani's failure to comply with court orders and pay attorney fees was cited as evidence of his potential non-compliance. Giuliani can appeal the judgment but would need to post a bond of the full amount owed.
