A jury in Washington, D.C. on Friday decided former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani will pay two Georgia election workers nearly $150 million in damages after being found liable for defaming them as he peddled baseless claims about them rigging the 2020 election.
The jury awarded former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea ArShaye "Shaye" Moss, who brought the suit against Giuliani, $16,171,000 and $16,998,000 in damages for defamation, respectively. The women were each awarded $20 million in damages for emotional distress, and Giuliani must pay an additional $75 million in punitive damages.
