Rudy Giuliani has been ordered to pay $148,169,000 to two women he falsely accused of committing election fraud in the 2020 election.
The former New York City mayor, and Donald Trump ally and former personal lawyer, was on trial for the defamation of two Georgia election workers this week at a federal court in Washington, D.C.
Giuliani had accused Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea "Shaye" Moss, of fraud while advancing former President Trump's unproven claims that the 2020 election was stolen.

U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell had already awarded default judgment to Freeman and Moss in August.
The purpose of this week's trial was to determine how much money Giuliani would have to pay the women in damages.
