Giuliani settles legal fight with former Georgia election workers and agrees to stop defaming them

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Rudy Giuliani reached a deal Thursday that lets the cash-strapped ex-New York City mayor keep his homes and belongings, including prized World Series rings, in exchange for unspecified compensation and a promise to never again speak ill of two former Georgia elections workers who won a $148 million defamation judgment against him. “Today is a major milestone in our journey.” With the agreement, they said, “we can now move forward with our lives.” They added that they had “agreed to allow Mr. Giuliani to retain his property in exchange for compensation and his promise not to ever defame us.” Giuliani said in a statement posted on social media and read to reporters by his lawyer that the settlement satisfies the judgment against him but “does not involve an admission of liability or wrongdoing.” “I am satisfied with and have no grievances relating to the result we have reached,” Giuliani said, adding that it allowed him to retain his Manhattan apartment and Florida condominium, as well as all of his personal belongings. I and the Plaintiffs have agreed not to ever talk about each other in any defamatory manner, and I urge others to do the same.” Giuliani’s lawyer, Joseph Cammarata, said the deal sprung from negotiations over the last three days that went “into the wee hours of the night.” Had an agreement not been reached, Giuliani would have been in court Thursday testifying before the same judge who last week found him in contempt for failing to turn over information on some of his assets to the women’s lawyers. Giuliani, once heralded as “America’s Mayor” for his post-9/11 leadership, served for a time as Trump’s personal attorney during the president-elect’s first term.
