Rudy Giuliani has “fully satisfied” a judgment against him for defaming two former Georgia election workers by accusing them of election fraud after the 2020 presidential election. The settlement comes after a jury initially awarded the workers $148 million in damages, which was later reduced to $146 million by a judge. The court filing also included interest and attorney fees.
Giuliani, a former mayor of New York City, failed to comply with orders surrounding the judgment, with a federal judge calling his explanation for not turning over assets “farcical.” In January, the judge found Giuliani in contempt of court for not providing information about his assets.
The former election workers, Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, sued Giuliani for defamation after he baselessly accused them of fraud. They received death threats and harassment from Trump supporters as a result. In a taped testimony played to Congress in June 2022, Freeman expressed feeling unsafe everywhere, while Moss stated that the lies affected every aspect of her life.
A settlement agreement was reached in January between Giuliani and the women, who described the past four years as a “living nightmare.” They fought to clear their names, restore their reputations, and prove their innocence. Giuliani admitted to making false statements about them, and the judgment against him has now been satisfied.
