WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge on Wednesday held
Rudy Giuliani liable in a defamation lawsuit brought by
two Georgia election workers who say they were falsely accused of fraud, entering a default judgment against the former New York City mayor and ordering him to pay tens of thousands of dollars in lawyers’ fees.
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell said the punishment was necessary because Giuliani had ignored his duty as a defendant to turn over information requested by election workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea’ ArShaye Moss, as part of their lawsuit.
Their complaint from December 2021 accused Giuliani, one of Donald Trump’s lawyers and a confidant of the former Republican president, of defaming them by
falsely stating that they had engaged in fraud while counting ballots at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
The ruling enables the case to move forward to a trial in federal court in Washington to determine any damages that Giuliani must pay. He will have a “final opportunity” to produce the requested information, known under the law as discovery, or face additional sanctions if he fails to do so."
This has been their whole schtick all along. Make claims, point fingers, but then fail, or simply refuse to back any of it up.
