Rudy Giuliani ordered to pay $148 million in damages to election workers

A jury awarded $148 million in damages on Friday to two former Georgia election workers who sued Rudy Giuliani for defamation over lies he spread about them in 2020 that upended their lives with racist threats and harassment. The damages verdict follows emotional testimony from Wandrea “Shaye” Moss and her mother, Ruby Freeman, who tearfully described becoming the target of a false conspiracy theory pushed by Giuliani and other Republicans as they tried to keep then-President Donald Trump in power after he lost the 2020 election. Giuliani had already been found liable in the case and previously conceded in court documents that he falsely accused the women of ballot fraud. KTLA’s Samantha Cortese reports on Dec. 15, 2023.
