Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Former Election Workers Sue Rudy Giuliani Again After Winning $148 Million Defamation Suit

HeadlineDec 19, 2023

In Georgia, the former election workers, African Americans Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss have sued Trump’s former attorney Rudy Giuliani for a second time. On Friday, a federal jury ordered Giuliani to pay Freeman and Moss $148 million in damages after he falsely accused them of tampering with ballots during the 2020 election, leading to harassment and death threats from Trump supporters. Their new lawsuit seeks a court order permanently barring Giuliani from defaming them again.

Meanwhile, a federal appeals court panel has rejected a bid by Trump’s former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to have an election interference case against him in Georgia moved to federal court.
