How much will Rudy Giuliani have to pay at his trial?

Rudy Giuliani is back in court to find out how much he’ll have to pay after being found liable for defamation and damaging the reputations of two Georgia election officials working to count votes in Fulton County during the 2020 U.S. presidential election.

This lawsuit is linked to unfounded allegations of electoral fraud during the presidential election, repeated on numerous occasions by Rudy Giuliani and aimed specifically at these two agents, which would have led to catastrophic consequences for them.

Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Moss, a mother and daughter, sued Mr. Giuliani for falsely accusing them of being involved in a fictitious election scam, leading the two women to suffer harassment, emotional distress and threats.

Among other things, Giuliani compared the two women to drug dealers exchanging USB drives containing illegal votes. In reality, the accusations were unfounded.

The plaintiffs in the case are seeking between $15 and $43 million for reputational damage alone. They are also seeking separate compensation for emotional distress, as well as punitive damages to deter future misconduct.

During the preliminary proceedings of his case, Rudy Giuliani had failed to present the requested documents and evidence, suffering a setback by default.

The trial is expected to last four days and will focus on compensation amounts.

Hunter Biden sues Rudy Giuliani

U.S. President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is suing Rudy Giuliani in civil court and Robert Costello, his former attorney, claiming that they violated federal and state computer privacy laws by attempting to hack into his laptop and caused the “total annihilation” of his digital privacy.

According to a source close to Hunter Biden to CNN: “Everyone involved in stealing and manipulating Hunter’s data should be hearing footsteps right about now”, suggesting that others could also be sued in civil court by Hunter Biden’s legal team.

Hunter Biden accuses Giuliani and Costello of hacking, falsifying, manipulating, copying, disseminating and generally obsessing over the data on his stolen laptop.

The civil suit against Giuliani joins two other lawsuits filed by Hunter Biden in recent weeks, when he filed a civil suit, also in connection with his laptop, against Garrett Ziegler, Trump’s former White House aide, and he also sued the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), claiming that his tax information had been illegally disclosed and his private records had not been properly protected.

Remember that this whole story about Hunter Biden’s laptop refers to a controversial story that emerged during the 2020 US presidential election, when a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden, the son of then Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, was discovered.

The laptop was reportedly left at a Delaware computer repair shop in 2019, and John Paul Mac Isaac, the store’s owner, claimed to have discovered emails and other data on the laptop there that raised questions about Hunter Biden’s business dealings, in particular with a Ukrainian energy company called Burisma Holdings.

Mac Isaac claimed to have several copies of Biden’s illegally obtained laptop data, which he then sent to Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer.

While the son of the US President is still under investigation for his business dealings, he was indicted on federal firearms charges on September 14.

He is accused of lying about his drug use when he purchased a firearm in October 2018. During that time, Hunter Biden allegedly admitted to suffering from a crack addiction, according to the indictment filed in Delaware federal court.

The indictment against him comes just weeks after a failed plea bargain that would have allowed the president’s son to avoid a trial.

While Hunter Biden reportedly intends to plead not guilty to this charge, his run-ins with the law are far from over!

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.
