On January 16, 2025, prior to a scheduled trial, Rudy Giuliani reached a settlement in a defamation lawsuit concerning allegations he made against Georgia election workers following the 2020 presidential election. The terms of the undisclosed settlement are expected to approach a $1.3 million figure. This case has drawn significant attention as it relates to remarks Giuliani made during appearances on various platforms, including his claim that election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss had engaged in fraudulent activities during the counting of ballots. Freeman stated, ‘Everyone was watching. It was a lie,’ reiterating the denial of any wrongdoing. The settlement allows Giuliani to retain his property, including a condo in Florida, which had been under scrutiny. Legal expert Steven Shapiro suggested that the verdict could deter others from making baseless allegations against individuals without substantial evidence. Freeman and Moss expressed hope that the outcome would inspire others who feel victimized by misinformation to stand up against false claims.
