" A federal judge has determined that Rudy Giuliani has lost a defamation lawsuit from two Georgia election workers against him after he failed to provide information sought in subpoenas."

Good for Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. Giuliani and trump turned their lives upside down. I hope they get at least 5 million.

Giuliani loses defamation lawsuit from two Georgia election workers

Giuliani is purportedly broke--and Trump calls him a loser who didn't win the election cases.
He needs a combination hypnotist/miracle worker to get that result.

He still has a condo to sell in NY.

"In an unsparing, 57-page ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell said Giuliani had flagrantly violated her orders to preserve and produce relevant evidence to the election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, resulting in a “default” judgment against him. She also ordered him to pay Freeman and Moss “punitive” damages for failing to fulfill his obligations.

The ruling means the case will now proceed to a trial purely to determine the amount of damages Giuliani will have to pay the two election workers.

“Just as taking shortcuts to win an election carries risks — even potential criminal liability — bypassing the discovery process carries serious sanctions,” Howell wrote."

Rudy Giuliani is liable for defaming Georgia election workers, judge rules

The case will now head to trial, where a jury will determine the amount of damages that Giuliani must pay to the two election workers.

From the judge's decision:
"Rather than simply play by the rules designed to promote a discovery process necessary to reach a fair decision on the merits of plaintiffs’ claims, Giuliani has bemoaned plaintiffs’ efforts to secure his compliance as “punishment by process.” Id. at 75:12. Donning a cloak of victimization may play well on a public stage to certain audiences, but in a court of law this performance has served only to subvert the normal process of discovery in a straight-forward defamation case, with the concomitant necessity of repeated court intervention."

He can still afford to fly around on private planes, so how broke can he be?

It is encouraging to see American laws actually working to benefit all Americans. These ladies were definitely defamed and smeared by the Trump coup participants. Life is so unfair to billionaires and sycophants who run out of gullible donor money to spend on their own legal defenses. They brewed a bitter tea after Trump lost the election and now they are forced to drink it. Good.

It's also reassuring to see Giuliani punished for not respecting the our court's discovery process.

It's really quite embarrassing, he didn't just lose, he essentially lost by forfeit. He admitted he'd lied about them AND he didn't comply with discovery.

Maybe he's just got rich friends. Some Supreme Court justices manage to fly private despite not making enough money to pay for it themselves.

And as an experienced former prosecutor, he certainly knew what he was doing....as the judge alluded to in her ruling.

It will be interesting to see the damages the jury awards....

Last month, Howell ordered the former mayor to pay nearly $90,000 of the election workers’ legal expenses due to what she found was noncompliance with her earlier discovery orders. In her ruling Wednesday, the judge ordered Giuliani and his businesses to pay an additional roughly $43,000 due to the failures. Those sums are separate from any damages a jury may impose.

After being found liable for defaming Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman, Rudy Giuliani goes on the radio to continue his attacks

Giuliani also lashes out at the federal judge

A bit of the judge's order is worth repeating before you read what Giuliani had to say [on radio, not under oath in court]

“Donning a cloak of victimization may play well on a public stage to certain audiences, but in a court of law this performance has served only to subvert the normal process of discovery in a straight-forward defamation case,” Howell wrote in her order.

Judge punishes Rudy Giuliani for 'continued and flagrant disregard' of court orders

U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell said jurors at an upcoming trial will be told that the former Trump lawyer intentionally tried to hide financial documents.

In a five-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell said the move was necessary given "Giuliani’s continued and flagrant disregard of this Court’s August 30 Order that he produce financial-related documents concerning his personal and his businesses’ past and present assets" and other pertinent information.

Additionally, Giuliani and his lawyer will be prohibited "from making any argument, or introducing any evidence, stating or suggesting that he is insolvent, bankrupt, judgment proof, or otherwise unable to defend himself" since he failed to hand over evidence that would show that's true, the judge wrote.

In a filing last month, Freeman's attorneys said Giuliani “failed to take any of the actions” ordered by the court, including turning over $89,000 in legal fees.

Did Rudy learn all this from reading Art of the Deal?

'Simply nonsense': Judge shoots down Rudy Giuliani's desperate bid to escape liability

A federal judge peevishly shot down Rudy Giuliani's last-ditch effort to avoid a jury trial in a libel suit brought by a mother-daughter pair of Georgia poll workers.

The jury trial will determine Giuliani's penalty for falsely claiming Freeman and Moss had engaged in fraudulent activities following the 2020 election,

Rudy Giuliani is no stranger to inciting riots. Back when he was first running for mayor of NYC against David Dinkins, Giuliani participated in a police riot.

In the center of the mayhem, standing on top of a car while cursing Mayor Dinkins through a bullhorn, was mayoral candidate Rudy Giuliani.

Rudy Giuliani defamation suit: Judge chastises former mayor for conduct outside court

Looks like he is parroting Trump's style of attack at all costs, and the overplayed plan is backfiring. Pay up Rudy.

Giuliani won’t testify in defamation trial, closing arguments underway

Despite his repeated statements that he expected to testify in his defamation damages trial, Giuliani’s defense passed on Thursday morning, moving the four-day-old trial to closing arguments after attorneys for plaintiffs Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ArShaye “Shaye” Moss rested their case.

Giuliani’s decision was not a surprise, since defendants very rarely risk testifying at trial. In Giuliani’s specific situation, he is already facing criminal indictment in a Georgia 2020 election case, and identified as an uncharged “Co-Conspirator 1” in Trump’s federal election obstruction case, meaning he could have had to repeatedly assert his 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination in cross-examination.

Giuliani has been ordered to pay $148 million in damages to both Ruby Freeman and Wandrea "Shaye" Moss. Of course, since Rudy apparently can't even to afford to pay his lawyers, it will be interesting how he'll be able to pay the damages in this case. The breakdown of the amounts: $16.171...
