An attorney for two Georgia election workers told jurors on Dec. 11 that Rudy Giuliani, former President Donald Trump’s former attorney, owed his clients tens of millions of dollars in damages after spreading lies about their conduct during the 2020 presidential election.
The plaintiffs—Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss—seek as much as $43 million. Mr. Giuliani’s attorney, Joseph Sibley, suggested that the amount was “the civil equivalent of a death penalty” and that granting the plaintiffs’ request would spell “the end” for his client.
