Jury Deliberates on Damages in Giuliani Defamation Trial

Former Trump attorney faces potential multi-million dollar payout to Georgia election workers he falsely accused of fraud.

• Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor and attorney for Donald Trump, is facing a defamation trial brought by two Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who are seeking tens of millions of dollars in damages.
• Giuliani falsely accused Freeman and Moss of ballot fraud during the 2020 presidential election, leading to a barrage of racist threats and severely disrupting their lives.
• Giuliani has already been held liable in the case and the jury is now deciding on the amount of damages he must pay.
• Despite being held liable, Giuliani has continued to repeat his false claims about Freeman and Moss.
• Giuliani's decision not to testify in the trial was described as a 'human' decision, given the potential for his testimony to be used against him in a separate criminal case in Georgia.
