Read our privacy policy A judge has denied Rudy Giuliani’s motion to dismiss a defamation lawsuit from Georgia election workers over statements he made about the 2020 election. Donald Trump’s one-time personal lawyer was sued by Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss last December for alleged defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and civil conspiracy. But the former New York City mayor’s attempt to have the case thrown out was denied on Monday by US District Court of Columbia Chief Judge Beryl Howell. In return, Rudy Giuliani and his allies—and others—told vicious lies that turned their lives upside down,” said Von Dubose, Partner at law firm Dubose Miller LLC.
