The former New York City mayor has already been found liable in the defamation lawsuit brought by Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, who endured threats and harassment after they became the target of a conspiracy theory spread by Trump and his allies. The only issue to be determined at the trial — which will begin with jury selection in Washington’s federal court — is the amount of damages, if any, Giuliani must pay.

The case is among many legal and financial woes mounting for Giuliani, who was celebrated as “America’s mayor” in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attack and became one of the most ardent promoters of Trump’s election lies after he lost to President Joe Biden.

Giuliani is also criminally charged alongside Trump and others in the Georgia case accusing them of trying to illegally overturn the results of the election in the state. He has pleaded not guilty and maintains he had every right to raise questions about what he believed to be election fraud.

      Yup.

      I’m hoping there’s gonna be a whole bunch of these people whose wallets are empty at the end of this.

      Technically speaking, they deserve a lot more than Giuliani is capable of paying. He put their lives in danger in an attempt to get the election overturned. I doubt there’s enough money in Giuliani’s bank accounts, stock accounts, mattresses, or sofa cushions to ever fully compensate them.

      Still, every last penny Rudy has would be a good start.
