Rudy Giuliani opts not to testify in Georgia election worker case
Newsy
A court has already ruled the former New York mayor is liable for false comments he made about Georgia election workers.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is no longer expected to testify and take the stand in a Washington, D.C., courtroom in his defamation trial involving Georgia election workers who are seeking millions in damages.
The damages are stemming from Giuliani's public statements after the 2020 election in which he accused the workers of altering votes. Attorneys for the election workers rested their case on Wednesday. Giuliani made the claims while serving as an election attorney for then-President Donald Trump.
Georgia was among a handful of states Trump narrowly lost in 2020. His campaign then claimed the results were rigged, even though Republican election officials disputed the claims.
Giuliani had hinted that he would testify, telling reporters Wednesday, "I said the truth will come out; the truth will come out. I didn't say when, so it will come out and it will come out very, very shortly."
This decision not to testify comes after Ruby Freeman, one of the plaintiffs in this case, gave very emotional testimony that lasted 80 minutes.
