A federal jury on Friday ordered former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani to pay a total of $148 million to two former Georgia poll workers who he defamed with his false comments about the 2020 presidential election.
Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea ArShaye “Shaye” Moss, sued Giuliani, saying he defamed them with his claims that they carried out a fake ballot processing scheme when they served as election workers for Fulton County in 2020.
A federal judge found the former New York City mayor liable for defaming Freeman and Moss earlier this year and tasked an eight-man jury with deciding how much Giuliani would have to pay the pair in compensatory and punitive damages.
Freeman asked for compensatory damages of $23.9 million, and Moss asked for $24.7 million for defamation and an unspecified amount for other damages.
