Giuliani Resolves Defamation Suit, Keeps Properties and Memorabilia

Giuliani Resolves Defamation Suit, Keeps Properties and Memorabilia

The ex-mayor of New York City has reached an accord with Georgia election workers, permitting him to retain his assets while agreeing to stop making defamatory remarks.
Rudolph Giuliani, the ex-mayor of New York City and former attorney for Donald Trump, has settled a defamation lawsuit with Ruby Freeman and Wandrea 'Shaye' Moss, two election workers from Georgia.

The settlement allows Giuliani to retain assets such as a Manhattan apartment, a condominium in Florida, and personal items including three World Series rings.

In return, Giuliani is set to compensate Freeman and Moss and has agreed not to make any more defamatory remarks about them.

Background of the Defamation Case

The lawsuit stemmed from baseless claims Giuliani made after the 2020 presidential election, accusing Freeman and Moss of vote manipulation in Georgia to benefit Joe Biden.

These accusations were later proven false but resulted in severe personal and professional consequences for the two workers, including threats and harassment.

In December 2023, a jury awarded Freeman and Moss $148 million for defamation, holding Giuliani accountable.

Settlement Details

Confronting the large judgment, Giuliani had already parted with assets like a vintage Mercedes-Benz and luxury watches.

The recent settlement permits him to keep his remaining properties and memorabilia.

While the specifics of the financial agreement with Freeman and Moss remain undisclosed, the settlement includes a mutual non-disparagement clause, preventing Giuliani from further defamatory statements against the plaintiffs.

Legal and Financial Implications

Giuliani's financial struggles are well-known, and reports indicate he filed for bankruptcy in late 2023. This settlement helps him avoid an extended legal fight that might have led to losing more assets, including his Florida condo and valuable memorabilia.

Despite the settlement, Giuliani has not admitted liability or wrongdoing.

Ongoing Legal Challenges

This settlement resolves one of several legal issues facing Giuliani.

He has been disbarred in both New York and Washington, D.C., due to his attempts to contest the 2020 election results.

Moreover, Giuliani has been cited for contempt of court for not adhering to orders in the defamation case, complicating his legal situation further.

Reactions from Freeman and Moss

Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss have expressed relief over the settlement, seeing it as a step toward rebuilding their reputations and moving past the significant distress caused by the defamatory claims.

Their legal team has highlighted the necessity of accountability to protect the integrity of election workers and the electoral process.
