Rudy Giuliani hit with second defamation lawsuit from former election workers

Former election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman filed a second lawsuit against former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Just days after a jury ordered Giuliani to pay Moss and Freeman $148 million, the pair again asked the court to sanction him.

In the new lawsuit, Freeman and Moss asked the court for "injunctive relief to permanently bar Defendant Rudolph W. Giuliani ('Defendant') from persisting in his defamatory campaign."

Giuliani has alleged that the two former election workers rigged the vote for President Joe Biden. He continued to make the claims during his defamation trial last week.

"When I testify, the whole story will be definitively clear that what I said was true, and that, whatever happened to them -- which is unfortunate about other people overreacting -- everything I said about them is true," Giuliani told reporters.

Moss and Freeman explained why the court should take the unusual step of silencing Giuliani.

"Defendant Giuliani's statements, coupled with his refusal to agree to refrain from continuing to make such statements, make clear that he intends to persist in his campaign of targeted defamation and harassment," the filing stated. "It must stop. In these unique circumstances, the proper remedy is a targeted injunction barring Defendant Giuliani from continuing to repeat the very falsehoods about Plaintiffs that have already been found and held, conclusively, to be defamatory."

Moss and Freeman are asking for attorney fees and other damages at the court's discretion.
