A federal judge has ruled that former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani must immediately begin paying the $148 million to two former Georgia election workers who sued him for defamation.
In a ruling handed down on Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell sided with a request from the two workers, Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shay” Moss, who had argued that Mr. Giuliani did not have the financial means to pay them after a 30-day stay on the payouts was lifted.
