Giuliani sued yet again by election workers he slandered in new lawsuit seeking a permanent injunction

Rudy Giuliani is being sued yet again by defamed Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ArShaye “Shaye” Moss. And this time, they are asking a court to shut him up for good. In December 2023, the two women won a $148 million default defamation verdict over a campaign against the women in which Giuliani falsely proclaimed the pair were engaged in fraud and had “cheated” voters during the 2020 presidential election.

Those lies were rebroadcast by former President Donald Trump — and others in his orbit — and shared far and wide. Despite being quickly and thoroughly debunked, the lies were seized upon by adherents of the 45th president, leading to hundreds of death threats — many of them racist — against the mother and daughter, who are Black. Since then, Giuliani has continued to repeat similar allegations against both Freeman and Moss on his since-canceled radio show.

On Friday, in the case before U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane, Freeman and Moss filed a complaint seeking injunctive relief to “permanently” bar Giuliani from “repeating the defamatory statements for which he has been held liable” in the defamation lawsuit as well as “any substantially similar statements.”

“Mr. Giuliani’s persistence in making these statements after all that has transpired, coupled with his refusal to agree to refrain from continuing to make such statements, make clear that he intends to continue in his campaign of targeted defamation and harassment,” the 13-page filing reads. “Accordingly, there is an overwhelming, ongoing, and imminent risk that Mr. Giuliani will inflict substantial reputational and emotional harm on Plaintiffs. This has to stop.”

Rudy and Trump truly are cut from the same cloth.

He has become a liability for anyone who hires him at this point and they finally realized it, and cut bait.

Those only incur fines, not prison time. Now if he refuses to pay, then, theoretically, a judge could hold him in contempt, and that could result in jail time.

Long shot, though, just so you know.

Also he can't find a lawyer to defend him, so he will lose every case he's involved in.
It serves him RIGHT!
