A federal judge has determined that Rudy Giuliani has lost a defamation lawsuit from two Georgia election workers against him after he failed to provide information sought in subpoenas.
The decision could lead to significant penalties for the former Donald Trump attorney.
In court in recent weeks, Giuliani said he could no longer contest that he made false and defamatory statements about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss – who are only one group of plaintiffs suing him for defamation related to his work for Trump after the 2020 election.
Yes, because as long as your statement is presented as an opinion or rhetoric then it’s protected speech. It only becomes defamation when you emphasize that your statements aren’t opinions but actual facts that you can prove with (non-existent) evidence. It’s also why Fox lost their lawsuit.
I don’t disagree with anything you just said except that Fox didn’t lose theirs, I think they ended up settling for a buttload of money
More than a buttload, $787.5 million. I’ve only been able to fit about $47.86 in my butt, but that was also all pennies.
Thank you
