Media: Ex-Trump lawyer Giuliani fined millions for defamation
The US federal judge responsible had already found former New York mayor Giuliani guilty in August of defaming 64-year-old Ruby Freeman and her 39-year-old daughter Wandrea Moss.
Following Trump's election defeat to Democrat Joe Biden in November 2020, Giuliani was a central figure in the unelected incumbent's attempts to overturn the outcome of the election with the help of unfounded allegations of fraud and thus keep himself in office. Shortly after the election in November 2020, he published a video of the two election workers during the vote count in which he falsely accused the women of electoral fraud and made other unfounded allegations about them.
Giuliani now has a number of legal problems. For example, he was indicted along with Trump in a criminal case in Atlanta on charges of vote rigging.
The 79-year-old was once highly respected as mayor of New York and was celebrated as "America's mayor" after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Giuliani, who was born in 1944 in the Brookyln district of New York as the son of Italian immigrants, later became a loyal companion to Trump.
