He is the personification antithesis of all that is kind, caring and compassionate in the world and he fights spreads evil on behalf of the rest of us.

Former Donald Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani will no longer testify in his defamation damages trial over how much he should pay two Georgia election workers millions of dollars in damages for spreading conspiracy theories about them after the 2020 election.

A spokesman for Giuliani confirmed to CNN that the former New York mayor will not testify.

The decision not to appear comes after the Georgia election workers – Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Shaye Moss – provided gut-wrenching testimony over the course of two days about how the lies spread by him damaged their reputations and upended their lives.

Freeman and Moss are asking an eight-person jury in Washington, DC, to order Giuliani to pay them millions of dollars in damages for the emotional and reputational harm they say they’ve suffered.

The case has refocused attention on the human impact of disinformation spread by Trump and his allies after the 2020 election as the former president awaits his own criminal trial in the same courthouse.

Giuliani has already been found liable for defamation and owes Freeman and Moss over $230,000 after failing to respond to parts of their lawsuit.

Giuliani is poised to get hit with a multimillion dollar ruling against him in D.C. over his baseless accusations of election fraud against two poll workers. After that civil trial concludes, he’ll turn around and begin preparing for a criminal trial in Atlanta, where he’s facing many of the same racketeering charges he once wielded as a federal prosecutor against mobsters in New York. And throughout it all, Giuliani has a long list of creditors, from former associates to contractors, who are also hounding him for money.

For Giuliani, 2023 will likely end in penniless defeat. But 2024 could be even worse—it could actually end with him in prison.

At the moment, the most immediate problem for Giuliani is his defamation suit. A jury in the nation’s capital has spent all week hearing about how the conspiracy-crazed attorney ruined the lives of two Georgia poll workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, a mother and daughter whom Giuliani falsely accused of secretly plotting to sabotage Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign.

Giuliani, an associate attorney general in the 1980s, managed to screw up the court case by barely putting up a defense—and getting hit with sanctions for failing to turn over evidence. As such, the damages-only trial has portrayed Giuliani, the former legal chief of the Southern District of New York, as a monster without compunction, one who should pay anywhere from $15.5 million to $43 million for abusing his status and MAGA megaphone to harness unfounded rage in the wake of Trump’s 2020 loss.

“When I testify, you will get the whole story & it will be definitively clear that what I said was true.”
