A federal jury in Washington on Friday ordered former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani to pay nearly $150 million in damages to two former Georgia election workers he defamed by falsely accusing them of election fraud in 2020, upending their lives.
Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea ArShaye "Shaye" Moss filed a lawsuit against Giuliani for making baseless claims about them being involved in a fake ballot processing scheme during their roles as election workers for Fulton County in the last presidential election. The jury awarded the pair $148 million, with a combined $75 million in punitive damages, compensatory damages of $16.2 million to Freeman and $16.9 million to Moss and $20 million to each of them for emotional suffering, The New York Times reported.
