A jury has ordered Rudy Giuliani to pay Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss $148 million in damages for alleged slander after Giuliani claimed the two women participated in voter fraud in Georgia during the 2020 presidential election.
Ruby Freeman’s lawyers requested the jury on Thursday to give just $24 million to each plaintiff, plus money for emotional anguish and punitive damages. The jury increased Ruby and Shaye’s huge claim by $100 million.

WASHINGTON — A jury awarded two former Georgia election workers $148 million in damages Thursday in their defamation suit against former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Jurors deliberated for a day-and-a-half before awarding Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea “Shaye” Moss $73 million in compensatory damages and $75 million in punitive damages for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Ruby Freeman’s testimony in the Rudy Giuliani defamation trial revealed that she received messages and images of messages she claimed she received due to Giuliani’s statements and social media posts following the 2020 Presidential Election. Freeman also testified that she was increasingly fearful during and after the January 6 protests in DC.
The attorneys played audio recordings of Trump telling Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger about the women and demanding Raffensperger investigate, while noting the phrase “Where’s Ruby?” was trending.
Rudy Freeman did not stand a chance against the all-things-Trump-hating jury, indicating that all odds are stacked against Giuliani and conservatives in the DC Kangaroo Courts. In August, Obama-appointed DC Judge Beryl Howell pronounced Rudy Giuliani legally liable for defaming Ruby and Shaye because he was late in producing relevant evidence to the election workers’ attorneys. However, investigators may have lost a significant portion of the information that was turned over.
The jury was given instructions on Thursday to deliberate on a dollar amount for Rudy Giuliani to pay in damages to Ruby and Shaye. Giuliani told reporters after day three of the trial that the truth would come “very, very shortly,” and he was expected to testify on Thursday. The Defense rested its case on Thursday and Giuliani is expected to appeal the case.
