Giuliani Faces Defamation Lawsuit Over False Claims Against Georgia Election Workers
• Giuliani falsely accused two Georgia election workers of conspiring to rig the 2020 election, leading to harassment. The workers are suing him for defamation.
• CNN legal analyst Elie Honig slammed Giuliani's legal strategy as "the single worst ever devised", expecting a "massive verdict" against him.
• Giuliani refused to provide evidence in discovery, leading to a default judgment finding him liable for defamation.
• On trial to determine damages, Giuliani backed out of testifying, which Honig called "the smartest decision he’s made in years."
• One of the election workers, Ruby Freeman, described the systemic harassment she has endured since Giuliani's false claims, having to constantly change her name and move houses.
