Rudy Giuliani must pay more than $148m over false election claims

A judge had already found Mr Giuliani liable of making defamatory claims about Georgia poll workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea “Shaye” Moss.
Ms Moss said after the verdict that the past few years had been “devastating”.
The verdict came after a four-day trial to determine the penalty.
On Friday, the eight-person jury ordered $20m payments for defamation to be made to each victim.
They were also each awarded over $16m for emotional distress, the jury ruled. Another payment of $75m in punitive damages was ordered to be split between them.
They had originally sought between $15m and $43m in damages from Mr Giuliani, Mr Trump’s former personal lawyer.
Addressing reporters outside the court, Mr Giuliani said: “I don’t regret a damn thing.”
