Rudy Giuliani satisfies judgment in defamation case brought by former Georgia election workers
A judge previously ruled the former Trump attorney had defamed Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss by falsely claiming they committed election fraud in 2020.
Rudy Giuliani has "fully satisfied" a judgment against him after defaming two former Georgia election workers by falsely accusing them of election fraud in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential contest, according to a federal court filing Monday.
The judgment was satisfied on Friday, the filing said, and comes after Giuliani reached a settlement agreement with Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, in January.
A jury had awarded the former election workers $148 million in damages after a four-day trial in December 2023. The award was subsequently reduced to $146 million by a judge.
Monday's court filing listed interest and attorneys fees on top of that figure.
A representative for Giuliani did not immediately respond to a request for comment late Monday.
