Rudy Giuliani ordered to pay nearly $150 million to two Georgia election workers he defamed

"A Washington, DC, jury has ordered Rudy Giuliani to pay nearly $150 million to two Georgia election workers for the harm caused by defamatory statements he made about them following the 2020 election."

...

"During the trial, an attorney for Freeman and Moss showed videos and played audio clips in which Giuliani repeated false claims that the two election workers stuffed ballots and were caught on video allegedly passing a USB drive as part of a vote-stealing scheme.

"None of those claims were true, and the supposed USB drive was a ginger mint."

....



He is claiming he doesn't have funds to pay, and that section of the article "How much money does Giuliani have?" also lists a number of other unpaid debts owed including "..more than $1 million to defense attorneys who’ve helped him on other matters, prompting them to sue him this year".

....

"It’s also not clear if Giuliani would be able to declare bankruptcy to shield himself from any sum of damages in this lawsuit. That issue, according to people familiar with the case, may have to be decided by the courts at a later time, and it’s possible he could still be on the hook for the award to Freeman and Moss, even if he goes into bankruptcy."
