On Wednesday, a federal judge issued a default judgement against former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and ordered him to pay the attorney fees for the plaintiffs. Two election workers filed a suit against Giuliani as he had claimed that they had mishandled ballots during the 2020 presidential elections.
Judge Beryl Howell said that Giuliani must pay almost $133,000 as sanctions in the defamation and civil conspiracy suit filed by two Georgia elections workers—Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. The judge blasted the former lawyer in a 57-page opinion and called him out for “willful misconduct” and more.
Judge Howell also said that the attorneys for Giuliani and the two plaintiffs should put forth three possible dates for trial in Washington to decide how much compensatory and punitive damages must be paid after the default judgement.
In 2021, the two Georgia election workers had sued Giuliani for defamation, intentionally inflicting them with emotions distress and for civil conspiracy.
In July, Rudy Giuliani accepted that he had made “false” statements about the two Fulton County election officials that had been “defamatory per se.”
Giuliani had argued that he had tried to turn over records for the discovery process, but he was unable to do so due to several obstacles including the seizure of his phone by federal agents in 2021.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs released a statement that described how the two women went through “a living nightmare” after the 2020 elections. It said that they were still fighting to rebuild their “reputations” and more and that they were grateful that the judgement brought them “one step closer” to repairing the damage that was caused to their lives.
In 2021, the two Fulton County officials Moss and Freeman settled the claims of defamation with One America News network, which is a far-right news outlet.
Rudy Giuliani has recently been indicted with former president Donald Trump and 17 co-conspirators in Georgia for allegedly trying to illegally overturn Trump’s loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential elections.
