Rudy Giuliani Reaches Multimillion Dollar Settlement With 2 Black Women He Accused of Election Fraud in Georgia’ Will Keep Condos and World Series Rings
Jan 17, 2025
In 2023 former attorney for Donald Trump agreed to a $148 settlement in a case which found that he defamed mother and daughter election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss by falsely accusing them of tampering with the 2020 presidential vote in Georgia. Although the women were awarded a multi-million dollar judgment, the disgraced former mayor of New York has not paid the court-ordered judgment claiming he could not pay the hefty settlement. Giuliani has also continued to spread the lies that led to the court case in the first place.
On Thursday, Jan. 16, Giuliani has been a no-show to his non-jury civil trial that was set to begin Thursday in a Manhattan federal court, but has agreed to pay Freeman and Moss in a settlement that would allow him to keep his New York co-op and Florida condominium along with all of his personal belongings including three World Series rings he claims were gifts to him from his father. He has however turned over a Mercedes Benz and other assets to the women to settle his debt.
The disgraced Trump cohort was found guilty of defamation against a mother and daughter who worked Georgia election polls during the infamous 2020 election. Giuliani falsely accused the women of election tampering and on Dec. 11 after being found guilty of defaming Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea Moss he was ordered to pay the women $148 million for damages and the pain he caused them.
However, Giuliani after conceding in court that he lied about the women’s involvement in election fraud, and admitted that his claims were not true, on Monday, Dec. 18 decided to return to repeating lies about the mother and daughter and insisted he would prove it although he decided against making those claims in court.
The two women became central targets in the controversy which perpetuated the Big Lie and false claims that Trump had won the 2020 presidential election.
“My mother and I didn’t seek out the spotlight,” Moss said in a statement to “ABC News.” “We just wanted to do our part to make democracy work well for everyone … and we’re incredibly honored to receive this recognition.”
Moss and Freeman, two dedicated Fulton County election workers testified before a Jan. 6 House Committee and described in detail how their lives and livelihoods were flipped upside down after Trump and Giuilani accused the two women of engaging in election fraud at State Farm Arena calling them “professional election scammers and hustlers.”
“I wouldn’t wish the hate and fear we experienced on anyone,” Freeman said in a statement to ABC News. “But what has lifted our spirits is the outpouring of support we’ve received from people who love this country and our democracy as much as we do.”
In January of 2023 President Joe Biden awarded the mother and daughter the Presidential Citizens Medal at a White House ceremony.
Giuliani was also admonished by U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell who ruled against Giuliani in the case for attempting to portray himself as the victim in this case and claiming that he cannot afford to pay damages to the women in addition to more than $130,000 in legal fees he’s already being directed to pay.
