Rudy Giuliani Ordered to Pay $150 Million in Defamation Case

Legal experts predict difficulty in collecting from Giuliani, who plans to appeal the verdict.

Rudy Giuliani, former personal lawyer for Donald Trump, has been ordered to pay nearly $150 million in damages for defamation to former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.
The verdict is broken up into $33 million for defamation, $75 million in punitive damages, and $40 million for emotional distress.
Giuliani plans to appeal the verdict, but even if he loses, collecting from him may be difficult.
Bankruptcy law protections do not apply to this type of judgement, where the defendant intentionally caused harm.
Legal experts predict that the plaintiffs' attorneys will be tenacious in identifying Giuliani's assets, and continued refusal to cooperate could land Giuliani in jail.
