Lawyer warns those spreading 2020 claims in Georgia will face consequences.
Attorney for Georgia Election Workers Considers Legal Action Against Trump
An attorney representing two Georgia election workers who sued Rudy Giuliani for defamation has not ruled out the possibility of pursuing similar legal action against former President Donald Trump. Mike Gottlieb, the attorney, emphasized that if individuals continue to spread false claims about his clients, they can expect to face consequences.
Gottlieb recently achieved a significant victory when Giuliani was found liable for defamation in a federal lawsuit brought by Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the election workers Giuliani accused of manipulating the 2020 election results. Freeman and Moss, who are mother and daughter, worked in Fulton County, Georgia, during the presidential race.
Despite Giuliani’s failure to comply with subpoenas, Judge Beryl Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia allowed the civil trial to proceed to determine the damages owed to the plaintiffs.
There is mounting pressure to take legal action against Trump for his false claims against the two election workers. In a well-known phone call with Georgia officials, Trump singled out Freeman, referring to her as a “professional vote scammer” and a “hustler.”
In August, Trump, Giuliani, and 17 others were indicted by a grand jury in Fulton County for their alleged involvement in a plot to overturn the Georgia election results. The indictment, spanning 98 pages, included details of Trump’s allies visiting Freeman’s house in an attempt to influence her testimony about the voting process.
