RUDY GIULIANI Conceded In A Court Filing That He Made False Statements When He Said Two Georgia Election Workers Mishandled Ballots During The 2020 Election.
In 2021, Ruby Freeman And Wandrea "Shaye" Moss, Who
Are Mother And Daughter, Filed A Defamation Lawsuit Against Giuliani For These
Accusations In The Federal Court In Washington, D.C.
And In His Latest Court Filings For This Case, The Former New
York City Mayor Backed Off His Previous Statements.
"While Giuliani Does Not Admit To Plaintiffs' Allegations,
He — For Purposes Of This Litigation Only — Does Not Contest The Factual
Allegations," Court Documents Filed Tuesday Read.
In A Declaration Signed By Giuliani, He Acknowledges That He
Made Statements That "Carry Meaning That Is Defamatory Per Se" And
That Those Comments Were "Actionable" And "False."
This Declaration Also Stipulates That Giuliani "Believes
That He Has Legal Defenses" To The Lawsuit And Wants To "Avoid
Unnecessary Expenses In Litigating What He Believes To Be Unnecessary
Disputes." He Also Said He Believes His Statements Were Constitutionally
Protected.
An Attorney For Giuliani Didn't Immediately Respond To A
Request For Comment.
