Rudy Giuliani has satisfied a judgment against him after defaming two former Georgia election workers by falsely accusing them of election fraud after the 2020 presidential election. A federal court filing on Monday confirmed that Giuliani had satisfied the judgment, which stemmed from a settlement agreement reached in January with Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss. The former election workers were awarded $146 million in damages by a jury in December 2023, with interest and attorney fees adding to that figure. Giuliani, a former mayor of New York City and federal prosecutor, had failed to comply with court orders regarding the judgment, resulting in a contempt finding in January.
Giuliani’s baseless accusations against Freeman and Moss led to death threats and harassment from Trump supporters, forcing the women to fear for their safety and well-being. Both women testified before Congress about the impact of Giuliani’s false statements on their lives, with one saying she no longer felt safe anywhere and the other expressing how her life had been significantly affected by the lies. The settlement between Giuliani and the women was a relief for Freeman and Moss, who described the past four years as a living nightmare and stated that they had fought to clear their names and restore their reputations. Giuliani’s defamation of the election workers had profound consequences for both women, highlighting the dangers of spreading false information and the importance of accountability for such actions.
