Civil Trial Will Determine What Damages Rudy Giuliani Must Pay to Defamed Georgia Election Workers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Washington, D.C., a federal jury will decide how much ex-President
Trump's disgraced former attorney Rudy Guiliani will pay, after a judge
found him liable for defaming two Georgia election workers whom Giuliani
falsely accused of ballot tampering after the 2020 election. As the
trial got underway Monday, Giuliani's lawyers argued the millions of
dollars in damages sought by the workers - Ruby Freeman and her daughter
Shaye Moss - would amount to the "civil equivalent of the death penalty"
and would "end Mr. Giuliani."
