Guiliani to cease false stolen election accusations agains ex-Ga. poll workers
Former Trump advisor Rudy Giuliani agreed to stop accusing former Georgia election workers of election fraud, according to court documents made public Tuesday.
Former Trump advisor Rudy Giuliani agreed to stop accusing former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss of election fraud, according to court documents made public Tuesday.
The mother-daughter pair won their defamation suit — and a $148 million judgment — in December against the former Trump attorney and two-time New York City mayor.
Giuliani accused them of election fraud in the wake of the 2020 election, saying they had stolen the election with USB drives they passed around "like vials of heroin or cocaine." Moss later testified before Congress that her mother passed a mint to her while counting ballots.
The fraud claims, they would later say, derailed their lives, and Freeman was forced to leave her home due to threats. Last year, Georgia state authorities officially cleared the pair of all claims of wrongdoing.
Giuliani filed for bankruptcy days after the judgment and sought to appeal the verdict; a judge said he could do that only if someone else paid his legal fees.
