Rudy Giuliani faces having to pay Georgia election workers up to $43.5million for pushing false theories they were rigging the 2020 election – and left them too scared to leave their homes

Rudy Giuliani could be forced to pay as much as $43.5 million in damages to two Georgia election workers he falsely accused of rigging the 2020 election to benefit President Joe Biden.

Giuliani arrived at the Elijah Barrett Prettyman US Courthouse in Washington DC a little late on Monday morning and did not speak to reporters as he entered the building.

Then jury selection began in the trial, which will determine whether Giuliani must pay damages to Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea “Shaye” Moss — and how much money is at stake.

The two election workers are seeking between $15 million and $43.5 million in damages in the defamation case.

Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City, was one of former President Donald Trump's election lawyers and has already been found guilty of defaming Freeman and Moss.

He advanced a conspiracy theory that they engaged in election fraud while counting ballots at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

The lawsuit says Giuliani repeatedly advanced debunked claims that Freeman and Moss produced suitcases of illegal ballots and committed other acts of fraud to try to change the outcome of the 2020 race.

Giuliani pushed the story that the mother and daughter passed each other a USB stick and were guilty of fraud.

Moss gave tearful testimony before a House committee on January 6, 2022, explaining that her mother had presented her with a “ginger coin.”

The two women received death threats and feared for their lives.

Moss described the racist comments she received online after Giuliani called her and her mother household names.

“There was just a lot of horrible stuff in there,” Moss said. 'Threats, many threats wishing death on me. They tell me I'll be in jail with my mother and say things like, be glad it's 2020 and not 1920.'

“A lot of them were racist,” Moss said. “A lot of them were just hateful.”

Moss also testified that several people who believed Giuliani's story showed up at her grandmother's house to make a citizen's arrest.

“I've never heard or seen her in my life,” Moss testified. 'She called me at the top of her lungs… saying there were people at her house. I just felt so helpless.”

Freeman testified before the Jan. 6 committee but did not take the position publicly.

Instead, her video interviews with committee members were played during the public hearings.

'There is no place where I feel safe. Nowhere,” Freeman said in the pre-recorded video. “Do you know what it feels like when the President of the United States focuses on you? The President of the United States is supposed to represent every American, not target just one American.”

“But he was targeting me,” she added.
