Giuliani Keeps Digging, Tells Newsmax He Stands by Claim That Resulted in $148 Million Defamation Judgment Against Him

Rudy Giuliani is still not backing down from his false claim about two Georgia election workers who sued him for defamation.

A jury in Washington, D.C. last week awarded $148 million in damages to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who on Monday, sued the former New York mayor for defamation again.

“Defendant Giuliani continues to spread the very same lies for which he has already been held liable,” the new suit states.

Giuliani, a former attorney for Donald Trump falsely claimed that the mother-daughter duo used USB drives to help alter the election outcome in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia against him. Afterward, the two women received threats, prompting Freeman to move out of her home.

Neither the eye-popping damages nor the additional lawsuit have deterred Giuliani. On Monday, he went on Newsmax where he quintupled down.

“You’re initial allegations,” host Rob Schmitt said to his guest. “You still believe them to be true?”

Giuliani replied:

Yeah. Well, of course they’ll sue me again for it when I say that, but yeah, I do. But they want me– they want me to lie. They basically they are suing me in order to lie for them. I’m sorry, I can’t do it. The if– if I showed you the evidence right now, and I think you’ve played it on your air, people would see that what I said was absolutely true and their support for it.

And the most important thing is, it doesn’t have to be absolutely true. It has to be supportable. They have to prove that I was deliberately lying, which I wasn’t. I had all this material that I based it on. So– and it never got a chance to make that defense to the jury. This was the most outrageous case I’ve ever heard.

Judge Beryl Howell ruled in August that Giuliani was liable for defamation after Giuliani appeared to concede he made false claims. Howell accused the former Trump attorney of “not complying with his discovery obligations.”
