Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was ordered by a federal jury Friday to pay more than $148 million to two Atlanta election workers he was found to have slandered by claiming they worked to cheat former President Donald Trump out of the 2020 election.

The DC panel awarded $75 million in punitive damages to Andrea “Shaye” Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman, as well as $20 million to each woman for emotional distress after deliberating for parts of two days.

Moss was also awarded just under $17 million for defamation, while Freeman received nearly $16.2 million.

“I don’t regret a damn thing,” Giuliani proclaimed following the verdict, promising to appeal the ruling. 

“The absurdity of the number merely underscores the absurdity of the entire proceeding, where I’ve not been allowed to offer one single piece of evidence in defense, of which I have a lot.”

“I am quite confident when this case gets before a fair tribunal, it will be reversed so quickly that it’ll make your head spin, and the absurd number that just came in will help that,” he added.

Giuliani had skipped testifying in his own defense on Thursday and told reporters after the damages ruling that US District Judge Beryl Howell had it out for him from the beginning.

“I didn’t testify because the judge made it clear that if I made any mistake or did anything wrong she was considering contempt, and this judge does have a reputation for putting people in jail. And I thought, honestly, it wouldn’t do any good,” he said.

“I have no doubt that my comments were made and they were supportable and are supportable today.”

The Associated Press reported a gasp was heard in the courtroom when the $75 million award was read out by the jury foreperson.

Giuliani’s attorney Joseph Sibley had stated on Thursday that the $48 million initially demanded by both women would “be the end” of his client financially and told jurors to “remember this is a great man.”

Michael Gottlieb, an attorney for Moss and Freeman, played a video of Giuliani claiming the women were “engaged in changing votes” outside the courthouse on Monday.

“Mr. Giuliani has shown over and over again he will not take our client’s names out of his mouth,” Gottlieb said. “Facts will not stop him. He says he isn’t sorry and he’s telegraphing he will do this again. Believe him.”

The Fulton County workers filed the suit against the man once lionized as “America’s mayor” in 2021, saying his false claims that they processed fraudulent ballots during the 2020 presidential election left them feeling “terrorized” and subjected them to regular threats and racist verbal attacks.

“Money will never solve all my problems,” Freeman told reporters outside the courthouse. “I can never move back into the house that I call home. I will always have to be careful about where I go and who I choose to share my name with. I miss my home. I miss my neighbors and I miss my name.”

“Our greatest wish is that no one, no election worker, or voter or school board member or anyone else ever experiences anything like what we went through,” added Moss. “You all matter, and you are all important.”

In August, Giuliani was found liable for defamation by default after declining to disclose evidence to Moss and Freeman’s attorneys that included his private communications and complete financial records.

Trump’s onetime personal lawyer had targeted the mother-daughter duo following the general election, saying they had passed a USB drive back and forth “like vials of heroin or cocaine” to alter Georgia’s electoral outcome.

Former President Donald Trump had also mentioned Freeman on his Jan. 2, 2021, phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, in which Trump demanded Raffensperger “find” the 11,780 votes needed for him to win the state from Joe Biden.

Moss later testified to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot that she was handing her mother a ginger mint, and Georgia’s state election board in June dismissed the fraud claims as “unsubstantiated and found to have no merit.”

Giuliani is also one of 18 co-defendants in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ case against Trump over his attempts to overturn 2020 election results in the Peach State.

A spokesman for the 79-year-old did not immediately respond to a request for additional comment.
