Rudy Giuliani has been found liable for defaming two Georgia election workers he claimed were part of a conspiracy to rig the 2020 presidential election.
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell also ordered that a trial be held on proposed damages to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the election workers that the former New York mayor had accused of manipulating votes.
In a filing in D.C. federal court, Giuliani had conceded that the statements he made “carry meaning that is defamatory per se” and that “such actionable statements were false.”
The concession was made “solely for the purposes of this litigation,” and the former New York mayor’s filing stated that Giuliani “is desirous to avoid unnecessary expenses in litigating what he believes to be unnecessary disputes.” Giuliani also continues to contest whether Freeman and Moss suffered any damages.
Herring Networks, the parent company of One America News Network, was named as another defendant in the case, but reached a settlement with Freeman and Moss last year. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed. Following the settlement, OAN tweeted out a clip from a broadcast in which the network said that Georgia officials “have concluded that there was no widespread voter fraud by election workers who counted ballots at the State Farm Arena in November 2020. The results of this investigation indicate that Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ‘Shaye’ Moss did not engage in ballot fraud or criminal misconduct while working at State Farm Arena on election night.”
