Two former Fulton County election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, have filed a defamation lawsuit against former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani for a staggering amount of $15.5 to $43 million. In new court filings, attorneys for the two Georgia women have indicated that Giuliani might be called to the stand.
In August 2023, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled that Giuliani had ignored his legal obligations as a defendant and had to pay Freeman and Moss over $230,000 in legal fees. Judge Howell described his punishment as necessary, as Giuliani gave “only lip service” to agreeing to his legal obligations while trying to label himself as the victim in the case.
The two women issued a statement, saying they were “living a nightmare” amid a “wave of hatred and threats” because of Giuliani. They said that “nothing can restore all we lost, but today’s ruling is yet another neutral finding that has confirmed what we have known all along that there was never any truth to any of the accusations about us and that we did nothing wrong.”
It all started in December 2021, when the women accused Giuliani of defaming them by falsely claiming they were committing fraud while counting 2020 election ballots at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The lawsuit stated that the former Trump confidant had continued to smear their names by accusing them of pulling names out of suitcases of illegal ballots, as well as other acts of fraud, to change the outcome of the election.
The amount of the lawsuit includes costs correlating to Moss’ loss of work and her “need to secure and relocate from her home.” Giuliani faces a growing list of people he owes money to. His former attorney, Bob Costello, is suing him for over $1 million for unpaid invoices. Another former business colleague is seeking damages after filing a sexual harassment claim against him. President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is also suing Giuliani, accusing him of mishandling personal data.
