Rudy Giuliani trial to begins

Rudy Giuliani’s trial over false vote fraud claims against Georgia poll workers began on December 11, 2023. A federal judge has already found Giuliani, former New York mayor and Trump lawyer, liable for defaming Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, a voter registration officer, and her mother Ruby Freeman, a temporary election worker. The trial will determine the damages Giuliani owes for orchestrating a “sustained smear campaign” by falsely accusing Moss and Freeman of election fraud. Both Moss and Freeman, who faced racist abuse and threats, are set to testify. Giuliani, required to attend the trial, may also testify, with his lawyer arguing that Giuliani’s remarks minimally connected to the harm suffered by Moss and Freeman. This case highlights the legal and financial troubles Giuliani faces for his actions post-2020 election.
