A federal judge granted two former Georgia election workers’ request to expedite their $148M payment from Rudy Giuliani, claiming the pair have “good cause” to worry the former New York City mayor may try and stiff them.

A jury last week ordered Giuliani to pay the millions to mother and daughter Ruby Freeman and Shay Moss for defaming them after he falsely accused them of committing voter fraud while counting ballots in Fulton County during the 2020 election.

Freeman and Moss requested the judge to “permit immediate enforcement” of the judgement, saying they were concerned Giuliani would “find a way to dissipate [his] assets before plaintiffs are able to recover,” ABC News reported.

Judge Beryl Howell on Wednesday sided with the two, writing that Giuliani has a reputation as an “unwilling and uncooperative litigant.”
