Last month Rudy Giuliani admitted under oath of lying on Georgia poll workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss after publicly accusing them of stealing the Georgia election from Donald Trump [click here if you missed that].
Today a judge ruled in favor of Ruby and Shaye in their defamation of character lawsuit against Giuliani...
From CNN
A federal judge has determined Rudy Giuliani forfeits the defamation lawsuit from two Georgia election workers against him, a decision that could lead to significant penalties for the former Donald Trump attorney.
In court in recent weeks, Giuliani said he could no longer contest that he made false and defamatory statements about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss – who are only one group of plaintiffs suing him for defamation related to his work for Trump after the 2020 election.
A trial to determine the amount of damages for which Giuliani will be held liable will be set for later this year or early 2024, Howell said on Wednesday.
The damages could amount to thousands if not millions of dollars.
Giuliani has already been sanctioned almost $90,000 for Freeman and Moss’ attorneys’ fees in the case, and Howell says the former New York mayor may be saddled with additional similar sanctions.
