According to a new report on MSNBC, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss now “want to get control of Rudy Giuliani’s assets so they can start collecting some of the $146 million of defamation judgment that they won against the former New York City mayor.” The report goes on to say that Freeman and Moss’s team is pushing for the sale of a property currently held by Giuliani in Florida.
Freeman and Moss are a mother and daughter who were election workers during the 2020 election cycle in Georgia. The two were falsely accused of involvement in subverting the presidential election that year against Trump, something for which there was never any real-world proof. Authorities’ investigations found nothing backing up key claims.
Facing threats to their safety as they were named in consistently debunked conspiracy theories about that race for the White House, Freeman and Moss sued Giuliani for defamation, scoring an initial victory against him by default after the former mayor failed to comply with the discovery process ahead of trial.
Trial proceedings that were eventually held focused just on the amount of penalties to impose on Giuliani rather than whether to hold him liable at all.
The specific language of a new court filing from Freeman and Moss asks for “an order requiring Mr. Giuliani to turn over personal property in his possession in satisfaction of the judgment, and an order appointing Plaintiffs as receivers with the power to take possession of, and sell, both real and personal property that Mr. Giuliani does not turn over.”
Giuliani, meanwhile, remains under criminal indictment in two cases arising from targeting by pro-Trump circles of the 2020 presidential election results. Both are state cases originating in Georgia and Arizona, respectively, though the Georgia case — which also named Trump — remains delayed.
