Rudy Giuliani must pay $148m to a pair of former election workers who endured an avalanche of threatening and racist abuse after they were smeared by Donald Trump’s former attorney.
Following a four-day trial in a federal courtroom in Washington DC, on Friday (15 December), an eight-member jury found Mr Giuliani owes Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss $16.2m and $16.99m respectively in compensatory damages, an additional $20m each for intentional infliction of emotional distress, and a further $75m in punitive damages.
