Giuliani slammed by federal judge, denied dismissal of a lawsuit by Georgia election workers
After months of racist harassment and death threats, two Black Georgia election workers got a big win Monday. A federal judge agreed to allow their defamation suit against former President Donald Trump’s election lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to move forward, Law & Crime reports.
Wandrea "Shaye" Moss and her mother, Ruby Freeman, filed the suit in December 2021, a little more than a year after Giuliani relentlessly smeared them with allegations of altering the vote count in Georgia. Freeman and Moss offered powerful testimony in June 2022 before the Jan. 6 committee during a live hearing.
The Fulton County election workers said they were driven from their homes, threatened on social media, and left feeling afraid to go out into public. Even Moss’ grandmother was caught up in the fray, menaced by Trump supporters and the web of lies created by Trump and Giuliani.
