Judge Beryl Howell raps Rudy Giuliani on day three of his defamation trial for calling it a 'political hit job'

Daily Mail  

A federal judge overseeing Rudy Giuliani's defamation trial rapped the former Donald Trump lawyer for comments Tuesday evening where he called the case 'political' and attacked the integrity of the gaggle of lawyers arrayed against him. U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell cautioned Giuliani after the attorney for former Georgia election workers Wandrea 'Shaye' Moss and Ruby Freeman brought up the issue. A jury will decide on damages after two former Georgia election workers successfully sued him in civil court The trial will determine if and how much money Giuliani will have to pay to Shaye Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman after the lawyer for former President Donald Trump repeatedly pushed debunked claims that they were trying to steal the election for Joe Biden The court action came after Giuliani's lawyer urged a Washington, D.C. jury not to hit him with the civil 'death penalty' and instead keep damages to a 'fair and proportional' figure. The only issue for the jury to decide is how much Giuliani owes in damages U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell, who is overseeing the case, scolded Giuliani earlier on Tuesday for repeating the accusations as he left the courthouse following the first day of the trial Giuliani's lawyer has said that there is limited evidence that his statements were the cause of the harm the two workers suffered.
