Rudy Giuliani is facing a defamation trial in Washington, D.C. over claims he made against Ruby Freeman and Wandrea "Shaye" Moss, two former Georgia election workers. The judge has already ruled that Giuliani spread false information about Freeman and Moss in the wake of the 2020 election. At the end of the first day of the trial, Giuliani continued insisting his claims were true. Freeman and Moss are seeking tens of millions of dollars in damages, arguing Giuliani's claims put their safety in danger and caused emotional and reputational harm. Giuliani's lawyer acknowledged some harm was done but argued the damages sought greatly exceeded what should be paid.
