Former NYC Mayor Rudolph Giuliani has settled a defamation lawsuit brought by two Georgia election workers and will keep his homes.
Rudy Giuliani has reached an agreement with two Georgia election workers that he defamed to settle the nearly $150 million judgment against him, in a deal that will allow him to keep his home and most valuable possessions.
Giuliani and plaintiffs in the Georgia election worker defamation trial reached a settlement that lets him keep his possessions.
Giuliani said the settlement will allow him to keep all of his personal belongings, which he had been turning over to the election workers.
The settlement was signed Thursday afternoon, just hours after the former New York City Mayor had been set to testify.
The deal was announced after Giuliani was a no-show at the trial to determine the fate of his World Series rings and Florida home.
A lawyer for the former NYC mayor declined to say if someone else is paying the $148M defamation award he owed Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman.
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell admonished Giuliani for continuing to spread lies about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has reached a tentative settlement to end all legal actions by two Georgia election workers who successfully accused him of defaming them.
The trial, heard without a jury, was supposed to begin Thursday morning at a federal court in Manhattan to decide whether Giuliani must surrender the assets to two former Georgia election workers who won the judgment against him.
Lawyers for two former election workers defamed by the onetime Trump lawyer are trying to seize his assets to help satisfy their $146 million judgment against him.
Rudy Giuliani received a new influx of funding after a social media post from Donald Trump encouraged supporters to donate.
