The claim
Election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss ran a ballot-fraud scheme in Atlanta, passing “suitcases” of illegal ballots and a USB drive “like vials of heroin or cocaine.”
Made in: A congressional hearing and repeated television appearances
The proof
The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia entered a default judgment against Giuliani on liability after he repeatedly failed to comply with discovery orders. In December 2023 a jury awarded Freeman and Moss $148 million in damages.
The record
Freeman v. Giuliani — U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia · No. 1:21-cv-03354
Outcome: Default judgment on liability; $148 million jury award (December 2023)
A court entered a finding of liability against the person because they failed to comply with court orders during the case.
Giuliani filed for bankruptcy after the verdict. The state of Georgia’s own investigation — led by officials of his own party — had already found no truth in the allegations.
