Rudy Giuliani's Absence in Defamation Trial Leaves Georgia Poll Workers Seeking Justice

Rudy Giuliani has decided not to testify in his own defense as his defamation case, brought by Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea Moss, reaches its final stage. The pair is seeking damages between $15 million and $43 million for Giuliani's false claims that they were involved in election fraud. Giuliani's lawyers cited an inability to afford the damages as the reason for his decision not to testify. Freeman testified that she had to flee her home and feared for her life after Giuliani shared a video falsely alleging ballot tampering. The judge has prohibited Giuliani from arguing the debunked election fraud claims in court, but he continues to make baseless allegations outside of court.

Ruby Freeman, a former Georgia election worker, testified in a trial against Rudolph Giuliani, stating that her life has been severely impacted since Giuliani directed his social media followers to watch a video accusing her and her daughter of cheating in the 2020 election. Freeman faced threats, racism, and harassment, leading to her feeling unsafe in her own home and having to change her identity. A professor estimated the damages to be between $17.4 million and $47.4 million. Despite being cleared of wrongdoing, Freeman continues to suffer the consequences, while Giuliani's defense is expected to begin on Thursday.

Former Georgia election worker Ruby Freeman testified in federal court about the violent and racist threats she received after being falsely accused by Rudy Giuliani and former President Donald Trump of manipulating ballots in the 2020 election. Freeman described how the false claims made by Giuliani and echoed by Trump led to a campaign of threatening messages, harassment, and even people showing up at her home. She eventually had to leave her home on the advice of the FBI after her name appeared on a "death list." Freeman and her daughter are seeking damages from Giuliani for defamation and emotional distress.
