According to a former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani spokesman, he has agreed to stop accusing two former Georgia election workers of election fraud.

This development follows a significant legal battle where Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the election workers in question, won a $148 million defamation lawsuit against Giuliani. The former mayor has committed to refraining from any further allegations of misconduct against the women regarding the 2020 presidential election. 

Michael Gottlieb, the women’s attorney, said Giuliani’s admission marks the end of his efforts to “push lies” about Freeman and Moss. Gottlieb praised the announcement as a victory for the two women, describing them as “heroes of American democracy.” Meanwhile, Giuliani’s spokesperson, Ted Goodman, noted that Giuliani will refrain from commenting on the two individuals until the legal cases are fully resolved. However, Goodman stressed that Giuliani would continue to speak on broader issues concerning the 2020 election, especially recent developments in Fulton County.

Goodman also refuted Gottlieb’s claims that Giuliani is profiting from spreading lies, suggesting that Gottlieb’s comments are aimed at garnering positive media coverage. 

This all comes as Giuliani is facing significant financial issues after a civil trial awarded Freeman and Moss $148 million in damages following a prior liability ruling. Shortly after the verdict, Giuliani filed for bankruptcy and recently lost an attempt to overturn the decision in April. His legal team plans to appeal to the DC Circuit Court.
