A judge declared on Friday that a defamation case against former New York Mayor and Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani has been fully satisfied after all parties in the case reached an agreement in January. 

The suit was filed against Giuliani for accusing two Georgia election workers of fraud in the 2020 election. A judge awarded the workers $148 million in the case back in 2023.

Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss said that they received death threats and their life was disrupted after Giuliani's statements. "There is nowhere I feel safe," Freeman said in testimony that was recorded in 2022.

While Giuliani immediately appealed the case, Freeman and Moss went after his assets, including his multimillion-dollar residences in New York and Florida and sports memorabilia.

Unknown amount

It was not clear how much money Giuliani paid the workers under the agreement, but it stipulated that he will get to keep all of his personal belongings.

He said in a statement, “I have reached a resolution of the litigation with the Plaintiffs that will result in a satisfaction of the Plaintiffs’ judgment."

"This resolution does not involve an admission of liability or wrongdoing by any of the Parties. I am satisfied with and have no grievances relating to the result we have reached. I have been able to retain my New York coop and Florida Condominium and all of my personal belongings," he continued.

All parties also promised not to make any further defamatory statements about each other.

Promises

"No one deserves to be subjected to threats, harassment, or intimidation. This litigation has taken its toll on all parties. This whole episode was unfortunate. I and the Plaintiffs have agreed not to ever talk about each other in any defamatory manner, and I urge others to do the same," Giuliani's statement, posted on X, concluded.

Freeman and Moss said: “The past four years have been a living nightmare. We have fought to clear our names, restore our reputations, and prove that we did nothing wrong. Today is a major milestone in our journey. We have reached an agreement, and we can now move forward with our lives. We have agreed to allow Mr. Giuliani to retain his property in exchange for compensation and his promise not to ever defame us.”

Both sides also submitted a letter to the judge. It said:"Plaintiffs and Defendant have executed a settlement agreement that, once certain conditions are met, would fully resolve all issues currently scheduled for trial, including the claims of Intervenor Andrew H. Giuliani, and would result in the conclusion of all litigation currently pending between and among the Parties."

Giuliani's son Andrew Giuliani had filed a separate motion in the case saying that his father had gifted him his New York Yankees championship rings back in 2018, so the plaintiffs did not have a right to them.

A contempt trial against Giuliani was scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday.

He had also been ordered to file a sworn declaration in the case by January 20, which he has not done.
