Rudy Giuliani Found Liable in Defamation Lawsuit Brought by Georgia Election Workers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A federal judge found Rudy Giuliani liable in a defamation lawsuit
brought by two Georgia election workers, after the disgraced Trump
lawyer failed to turn over information sought in subpoenas. Giuliani
accused Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss of committing fraud as
they tallied ballots in Atlanta during the 2020 election. It was part of
the Trump team's effort to overturn the former president's loss in
Georgia. Wednesday's ruling means the defamation case against Giuliani
can proceed to a trial, where damages will be considered.
