Two Georgia election workers at the heart of the Fulton County charges win a court victory against Donald Trump's former lawyer. The former president may opt out of an in-person Sept. 6 arraignment, and his mug shot makes an appearance in a rival's campaign ad.
In a separate but related case to the one brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis against former President Donald Trump, Giuliani and 17 others, Judge Howell ruled Wednesday that Giuliani was liable for defaming Georgia election workers Freeman and Moss,Freeman and Moss filed suit against Giuliani and Trump repeatedly pushed conspiracy theories accusing the two workers of manipulating ballots during the counting of votes following the 2020 presidential election.
In the wake of that smear campaign, Floyd, Kutti and Lee all pressured Freeman and Moss to “reveal information” about vote manipulation or face “the threat of incarceration,” according to the Fulton County indictment charging the 19 defendants. Howell ruled Giuliani had not followed her orders to preserve evidence and offer it to Freeman and Moss as part of the defamation lawsuit. As a result, the former New York City mayor was ordered to pay the two workers punitive damages.: The defamation trial against Giuliani will decide how much he must pay the two workers. At the heart of the case brought by Willis, the same conspiracy theories will be presented as evidence against Giuliani and those accused of harassing Freeman and Moss.
