Rudy Giuliani sued again by same Georgia election workers he defamed

The two Georgia election workers who won $148 million in damages from Rudy Giuliani have sued him again, this time seeking to muzzle the ex-mayor of New York City permanently from repeating false claims against them.

Despite being forced by a Washington, D.C., jury to fork over a whopping $148 million — the plaintiffs had sought $48 million — on Friday for falsely claiming Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea “Shaye” Moss engaged in election fraud in an attempt to steal votes from former President Donald Trump, Giuliani, who admitted to making up the claims, continued to defame the two election workers.

“I don’t regret a damn thing!” a defiant Giuliani told reporters.

Earlier in the week, he reiterated his initial claims against Moss and Freeman. In the days, weeks, and months after the 2020 presidential election, Giuliani claimed the women “engaged in surreptitious illegal activity” and said they were caught on camera “quite obviously surreptitiously passing around USB ports as if they’re vials of heroin or cocaine.” The USB port Giuliani spoke about turned out to be a ginger mint.

“Everything I said about them is true,” he said outside the courthouse. “Of course I don’t regret it.”

The new lawsuit, filed on Monday, asked a federal judge to order Trump’s former legal consultant not only to stop repeating the made-up claims but also immediately to enforce the jury’s award against Giuliani before he has a chance to draw down his funds.

“Defendant Giuliani’s statements, coupled with his refusal to agree to refrain from continuing to make such statements, make clear that he intends to persist in his campaign of targeted defamation and harassment. It must stop,” Michael Gottlieb, Moss and Freeman’s attorney, wrote in a 10-page filing. He also sought a “targeted injunction” preventing Giuliani from repeating his defamatory statements.

Giuliani’s weeklong trial in D.C. was filled with emotional testimony from the election workers who claimed their lives had been upended by his casual lies and that they had received vile threats that called for their hanging.

Giuliani, meanwhile, spent the week hyping up his testimony, telling people he would be vindicated when he took the stand and that he had proof that the mother and daughter had colluded to steal the election from Trump. However, in an eleventh-hour reversal, Giuliani’s lawyers said he would not testify in his defense and went straight to closing statements.

After the verdict, Giuliani claimed he didn’t testify because he was afraid of being thrown in jail for contempt. He also claimed there was evidence jurors did not get to see that would have supported his claims that Moss and Freeman had engaged in questionable activity.

Giuliani is also under state criminal indictment in Georgia alongside Trump for election-related offenses, and his testimony in the civil lawsuit may have incriminated him in his criminal trial.
