WASHINGTON—A federal jury on Dec. 15 ordered that former Trump attorney and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani should pay two former Georgia election workers $148 million for defaming them during the 2020 presidential election.
The verdict came roughly a day after the jury entered deliberations and represents a hefty punch to Mr. Giuliani, who reportedly is already facing financial troubles. The plaintiffs had asked for at least $48 million in reputational damages, while not specifying an amount for punitive damages and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
