Giuliani Defamation Trial To Kick Off After Judge Finds Him Liable for Fomenting Threats Against Georgia Election Workers
Mr. Giuliani has already admitted to defaming the poll workers, the only question is how much his transgression will cost the financially ailing former mayor.
The two Georgia election workers who faced harassment and threats as a result of Rudolph Giuliani’s conspiracy theories about voter fraud will see their day in court on Monday as a defamation case against the former mayor kicks off. Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss — a mother-daughter duo who for years helped the elderly and disabled voters access the ballot box — are seeking damages for emotional distress and the harassment they faced.
Ms. Moss, who worked as an election worker in Georgia for more than a decade, told the Select January 6 Committee in 2022 that she, her mother, and her grandmother faced violent threats from supporters of Mr. Trump in the wake of the 2020 election. Mr. Giuliani and the former president claimed, without evidence, that Ms. Moss and her mother had wheeled out boxes of ballots for President Biden. They had engaged in “surreptitious illegal activity,” Mr. Giuliani said publicly at the time.
