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.
