Lawyers for former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani argued that paying $43 million to election workers in a defamation civil case would be a type of “death penalty” for the 79-year-old.
Two Georgia election workers have brought the lawsuit against Mr. Giuliani over statements that he made after the 2020 election. A judge in Washington has already issued a ruling that Mr. Giuliani defamed the two workers, and the litigation is now determining what penalty he should pay.
