Rudy Giuliani ordered to pay 8m for false accusations against election workers

Rudy Giuliani has been ordered to pay a total of $148m for defaming two former Georgia election workers.

The jury’s sole task in the trial was to determine how much the one-time New York mayor should pay Wandrea “Shaye” Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman, to compensate them for the reputational and emotional harm they suffered and to punish Giuliani for his conduct.
