Federal Judge Beryl Howell has issued a default judgment against attorney Rudy Giuliani in a defamation lawsuit by Georgia election workers.

In the Aug. 30 ruling (pdf), Judge Howell said Mr. Giuliani had forfeited the case by failing to produce documents and other information requested by plaintiffs’ attorneys. Mr. Giuliani had struggled to retain access to his records against information demands from attorneys for Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the mother and daughter duo suing Mr. Giuliani.
