Georgia Election Workers Settle Defamation Case Against Gateway Pundit
Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss reach a settlement with the far-right website over false claims of election fraud in 2020.
- The settlement resolves a defamation lawsuit filed by Freeman and Moss against The Gateway Pundit, its owner Jim Hoft, and his brother Joe Hoft.
- The Gateway Pundit falsely accused the election workers of ballot fraud, leading to widespread harassment and threats against them.
- Nearly 70 defamatory articles have been removed from The Gateway Pundit's website as part of the settlement process.
- Freeman and Moss have previously won a $148 million judgment against Rudy Giuliani for similar false claims and are still pursuing payment.
- The defamation case highlights ongoing legal battles stemming from baseless election fraud claims promoted after the 2020 presidential election.
