Giuliani Settles Defamation Case, Keeps Assets

Rudy Giuliani has reached a settlement with two Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, over a defamation lawsuit, resulting in a $148 million judgment against him. The settlement permits Giuliani to retain his properties, including his New York coop and Florida condominium, and personal items like his World Series rings, in return for compensation and a commitment not to defame them again. This agreement was finalized shortly before the trial that was to determine asset ownership, as Giuliani did not appear in court. The terms have not been fully disclosed, but certain conditions must be met to settle all ongoing litigation. Giuliani asserts that the resolution includes no admission of liability or wrongdoing. Both parties have agreed to refrain from any further defamatory comments about each other, marking progress in concluding the legal proceedings.
