Giuliani faces second day of trial over lies about Atlanta election workers

Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss are seeking up to $43m in damages after ex-mayor falsely accused them of trying to steal 2020 election

A federal jury trial enters its second day on Tuesday, seeking to determine the extent of damages Rudy Giuliani should have to pay to two Atlanta election workers after spreading lies about them.

Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss have lived in a “perpetual nightmare” since Giuliani falsely accused them, by name, of trying to steal the election in 2020, their lawyers said in opening statements on Monday in Washington DC. They’re expected to testify about vicious threats, harassment, and emotional distress they have suffered because of his lies. They are seeking up to $43m in damages from the former mayor and Donald Trump ally.
