Giuliani previously conceded that he made 'false' statements against Georgia election workers who are suing him over baseless claims of fraud he made against them.
A federal judge on Wednesday found that Rudy Giuliani defamed former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea"Shaye" Moss, and is liable for damages after he failed to comply with discovery obligations in their lawsuit over baseless claims of fraud that he said they committed during the 2020 election.
Ted Goodman, political adviser to Giuliani, said his client has been"wrongly accused" in a statement. “This 57 page opinion on discovery — which would usually be no more than two or three pages — is a prime example of the weaponization of the justice system, where the process is the punishment," he said."This decision should be reversed, as Mayor Giuliani is wrongly accused of not preserving electronic evidence that was seized and held by the FBI.
that he said was intended to “avoid unnecessary expenses in litigating what he believes to be unnecessary disputes.”
