Rudy Giuliani Ordered to Pay $148 Million in Defamation Lawsuit

The former Trump lawyer, who falsely accused two Georgia election workers of fraud, vows to appeal the decision.

• Rudy Giuliani, former lawyer for Donald Trump, has been ordered to pay $148 million in a defamation lawsuit brought by Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss.
• The lawsuit was filed after Giuliani falsely accused Freeman and Moss of helping to steal the 2020 presidential election from Trump.
• The jury's award is significantly higher than the $24 million each that the plaintiffs' attorneys had asked for.
• Giuliani has vowed to appeal the decision, maintaining his belief in the 2020 election fraud claims.
• Giuliani's net worth is estimated to be less than $50 million, making the damages awarded potentially financially ruinous.
