Rudy Giuliani Gives Up Luxury Items to Defamed Election Workers

Georgia, Atlanta Hialeah, USASat Nov 16 2024
After losing a $148 million defamation case, Rudy Giuliani has handed over a collection of expensive watches, a classic Mercedes, and some funds to two Georgia election workers. This includes items once owned by movie star Lauren Bacall. The handover comes after Giuliani missed a court-ordered deadline to turn over assets. Giuliani's lawyer argues that certain items, like clothes and household items, should be exempt under state laws. The two women, Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss, were falsely accused by Giuliani of election fraud after the 2020 election. Their lives were upended by the false claims, and they have since received constant death threats and lost their jobs. Giuliani, however, maintains that his statements were true. The case has brought attention to the consequences of spreading false information.
