A federal judge has ruled in favor of two Georgia election workers, resulting in Rudy Giuliani losing the defamation lawsuit brought against him. This verdict could potentially lead to significant penalties for the former attorney of Donald Trump.
Giuliani’s inability to maintain access to his electronic records, partly due to cost issues, played a role in his loss. He also faced challenges in adequately responding to subpoenas from Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss’ legal representatives as the case progressed.
The lawsuit, filed by the mother and daughter, sought unspecified damages due to alleged emotional and reputational harm and concerns for their safety. Giuliani had explicitly targeted them, falsely accusing them of ballot tampering in Georgia following the 2020 election.
