“Once specific conditions are fulfilled’: Rudy Giuliani’s federal case involving defamed election workers may not be as resolved as he asserts.”
Following a bizarre morning in which Rudy Giuliani posted a video of a dog celebrating his “favorite president” at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club instead of being in downtown Manhattan for the trial over ownership of his Florida condominium and Yankees World Series rings, attorneys for both parties announced that they had settled the case.
Through their attorneys, Giuliani and the two Georgia election workers who won a $148 million defamation judgment against him announced that they had reached a settlement agreement that would “fully resolve all issues currently scheduled for trial” and “result in the conclusion of all litigation currently pending between and among the Parties” — but only “once certain conditions are met.”
The filing did not specify any details as to the terms of the agreement or what conditions must be met for the protracted case to be completely resolved, but Giuliani’s recent history of disregarding court orders could portend more complications than a typical legal settlement.
Following the settlement announcement, Giuliani posted a statement in which he said that he would be keeping all of his properties and personal possessions — including the New York City apartment that had allegedly been cleared of valuable items — and agreed to no longer defame Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss.
