Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has filed for bankruptcy after a Washington, D.C., jury ordered him to pay $148 million in damages. This verdict is in response to Giuliani’s defamation of two Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, during his legal efforts to challenge the 2020 presidential election results on behalf of former President Donald Trump.
The substantial defamation verdict was a result of Giuliani’s unfounded allegations against Freeman and Moss, which were made amid the turmoil following the 2020 election. These accusations significantly impacted the lives of the two election workers, leading to the hefty compensation amount.
Giuliani’s bankruptcy filing occurred in New York following the court’s directive for immediate payment of $146 million.
