Rudy Giuliani faces $150 million defamation ruling over election claims

In the United States, a legal battle has unfolded involving Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City, and two Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. The case revolves around Giuliani's defamation of the two women, whom he accused of manipulating the 2020 election results in favor of Joe Biden. Following the jury's decision in December 2023, Giuliani was found liable and ordered to pay nearly $150 million in damages. This verdict stemmed from Giuliani's promotion of false claims that sought to undermine the integrity of the electoral process. The circumstances surrounding Giuliani's comments contributed significantly to the emotional and logistical turmoil experienced by Freeman and Moss.
