Rudy Giuliani Settles $148 Million Defamation Case with Georgia Election Workers

The former Trump lawyer avoids asset forfeiture after reaching a last-minute agreement with two election workers he falsely accused of fraud in the 2020 election.

Rudy Giuliani, former New York mayor and Trump attorney, has settled a $148 million defamation lawsuit with two Georgia election workers, reaching an agreement before a new trial was set to begin in New York.
The settlement allows Giuliani to retain his properties, including luxury homes in Florida and New York, as well as personal valuables such as a watch collection, a classic car, and a signed Joe DiMaggio jersey.
The lawsuit stemmed from Giuliani's false claims that the two election workers, a mother and daughter, tampered with ballots during the 2020 presidential election, leading to harassment and threats against them.
While the financial terms of the settlement remain undisclosed, Giuliani has agreed to pay compensation and refrain from making further defamatory statements about the plaintiffs.
The two election workers described the settlement as a significant milestone in their efforts to restore their reputations after enduring years of threats and public scrutiny.
