A federal judge has determined that Rudy Giuliani has lost a defamation lawsuit from two Georgia election workers against him after he failed to provide information sought in subpoenas.
The decision could lead to significant penalties for the former Donald Trump attorney.
In court in recent weeks, Giuliani said he could no longer contest that he made false and defamatory statements about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss – who are only one group of plaintiffs suing him for defamation related to his work for Trump after the 2020 election.
This is a weird read. They handed over 200 documents plus financial records. This case is about some remarks, how does it need so many records, what wasnt provided that resulted in this? There was an FBI raid and they say he should have made backups.
Is backing up all your documents expected in all court cases?
The Judge thinks he may have been intentionally withholding the records.
Stuffs probably over my head but what would they think was withheld?
I think ive got court phobia, if i ever get accused of something im gettin booked for deleting my emails cus my inbox fills with spam.
Keep in mind it is a very common tactic to “bury” your opponent in paper. By law the lawyer knows they have to turn over an incriminating document. So they bury it in hundreds or thousands of other documents and hope opposing counsel misses it.
