Rudy Giuliani has fully satisfied a judgment against him after defaming two former Georgia election workers by falsely accusing them of election fraud in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential contest. A federal court filing on Monday stated that the judgment was satisfied on Friday, following a settlement agreement reached in January between Giuliani and Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss. The former election workers were awarded $148 million in damages by a jury in December 2023, which was later reduced to $146 million by a judge, with interest and attorneys fees added on top of that figure.
Giuliani, a former mayor of New York City and federal prosecutor, had failed to comply with orders surrounding the judgment, leading to a finding of contempt of court by a federal judge in January. Giuliani baselessly accused the women of fraud following the 2020 election, resulting in death threats and online harassment from Trump supporters.
The women testified that the falsehoods significantly impacted their lives, with Freeman stating she felt unsafe everywhere and Moss expressing reluctance to leave her home due to the harassment. The settlement agreement reached in January was a relief for Freeman and Moss, who described the past four years as a living nightmare and expressed their fight to clear their names and restore their reputations. Giuliani did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the satisfaction of the judgment.
