TFD – Rudy Giuliani has agreed to permanently stop making false claims against Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, marking the end of a long legal battle. The agreement, finalized in court, aims to hold Giuliani accountable if he repeats the defamatory accusations.
Rudy Giuliani, who has repeatedly made false accusations that have bankrupted him, has promised never to publicly accuse two Georgia election workers of interfering with votes in the 2020 election.
By signing the deal, Giuliani is giving up a protracted legal and verbal dispute he had been having with Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss, who work as election workers. In the event that Giuliani once more makes the false claim that they stole votes to harm former President Donald Trump, it also provides the women a strong means of holding him responsible.
Permanently enjoined from publishing, causing others to publish, and/or assisting in others’ publication of any statements that suggest that Plaintiffs, whether mentioned directly, indirectly, or by implication, engaged in wrongdoing in connection with the 2020 presidential election,” reads a draft of the agreement that was filed in court on Tuesday.
According to the agreement, Freeman and Moss’ lawyers would be able to bring Giuliani to court right away in the event that he repeats any potentially defamatory remarks.
The workers’ lawyer, Michael Gottlieb, released a statement saying, “Today ends his efforts to profit off of lies about these two heroes of American democracy.”
The deal was codified in a Wednesday night court order, which means that should Giuliani violate it, there might be serious and quick legal repercussions.
He no longer feels it is appropriate to repeat false claims he made in the past, such as his conviction that Freeman and Moss interfered with ballots in 2020 and that phony ballots for Joe Biden were seen on camera flooding the Fulton County voting process.
Giuliani has not started to pay back the $148 million judgment that Freeman and Moss obtained against him in a previous defamation lawsuit.
The trial offered a startling window into the abuse election workers endured while well-known Trump backers disseminated false information on the 2020 election. Giuliani has been barred from practicing law and is facing separate criminal indictments in Georgia and Arizona for his work for Trump four years ago.
In both cases, Giuliani has entered a not guilty plea. Earlier on Tuesday, he was arraigned in Arizona.
In addition, Giuliani is facing Chapter 11 personal bankruptcy, with Freeman, Moss, and other creditors vying for anything of worth that he owns.
In exchange for Giuliani ceasing to make false claims about them, Freeman and Moss dropped a second lawsuit they had brought against him on the same day they obtained a $150 million judgment against him in December.
