Rudy Giuliani loses libel suit against two election workers

Former Donald Trump lawyer and ex-New York mayor Rudy Giuliani has just lost a defamation lawsuit brought by two Georgia election workers, after Giuliani made false allegations of ballot tampering in Georgia against the two women, repeatedly, after the 2020 elections.

“What we went through after the 2020 election was a living nightmare,” said the two workers, a mother and daughter, after the judge ruled in their favor.

Giuliani will also have to pay the workers nearly $90,000 to cover legal fees in the case, in addition to being confirmed a trial date in 2024 to decide how much the workers could seek in damages as a result of these allegations.

An amount that could well reach millions of dollars!

The two women, who had to leave their home under the FBI’s advice, say they’ve been living in fear of going to the supermarket or simply going out since the repeated attacks by Trump’s lawyer that began when the latter released a surveillance video of the vote count in Atlanta calling them conspirators and ballot stuffers, accusations that Georgia election officials have of course refuted.

“There is nowhere I feel safe. Nowhere. Do you know how it feels to have the president of the United States target you?” one of the victims claimed in a video testimony.

Giuliani himself admitted last month that he had made defamatory remarks about the women workers. The former lawyer acknowledged and did not disputed their claims that he had tarnished their reputations.

The legal troubles are far from over for Donald Trump’s former lawyer.

It’s a far cry from the days of America’s Mayor.

An angry 50 Cent injures radio host at show

Angry after having received several faulty microphones during a concert, 50 Cent allegedly violently threw one of them off the stage… but the microphone hit the head of a woman in the crowd, seriously injuring her.

The incident reportedly took place last Wednesday evening during a concert at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The video of the rapper throwing the object quickly went viral on social networks.

According to TMZ, the victim had to be taken to hospital for treatment following a deep laceration to her forehead.

An investigation has been launched by the Los Angeles Police Department, as the young woman, a local radio host, claims that 50 Cent knew she was there before she threw the microphone.

Bryhana Monegain, host at the popular Power 106 station, claims that the gesture was deliberate and that it was an assault.

Is Vladimir Putin a “dead man walking”?

Russian President Vladimir Putin has reportedly been living on borrowed time since the death of Wagner band leader Yevgeny Prigozhin on August 23, Radar Online reports.

According to at least one known source, Professor Anthony Glees, political scientist and Director of European Studies at Brunel University, Wagner’s troops are seeking revenge for the death of their leader, and Putin should be “very careful” on future trips.

This warning is particularly valid for Putin’s visit to China next October, he believes.

WennCover

“His presidential jet could be shot down over the steppes of eastern Russia by Wagner group members who may have access to a Buk missile system amongst their arsenal,” Glees explains first.

“He’s a dead man walking,” concludes the professor.

On August 23, a plane suddenly crashed in northern Russia with the leader of the Wagner military group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, on board.

CaptureCNN

Shortly before his death, the leader of the mercenary group had helped the Russians advance into Ukraine since the start of the invasion, then organized a full-scale rebellion against the Kremlin, claiming that Russian troops were targeting the mercenaries. Yevgeny Prigozhin decided to turn back when he entered Moscow, citing an agreement reached between him and Vladimir Putin, a deal brokered by the Belarusian president, while many experts claimed that Prigozhin’s hours were now numbered!

And indeed, his presumed death is widely considered by observers to have been at Putin’s direction… as well as according to Prigozhin’s troops, who could now seek revenge for the alleged murder of their leader.
