“All parties have reached a resolution,” Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer Joseph Cammarata said outside the Manhattan courthouse at the end of the hearing. In one of the last phases in the defamation case won by Georgia former election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, it was agreed that Giuliani would be allowed to keep all his property “in exchange for compensation” and a pledge to never again speak in a defamatory tone about the mother and daughter.
It has not been made clear how much compensation Giuliani must pay under this new agreement, but the judge’s ruling last September 2023 established a $148 million settlement for falsely accusing the two women of manipulating votes in favor of Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. To meet this amount, the former New York City mayor has already handed over, obligated by the court, a Mercedes convertible and other valuable assets. According to the resolution reached, he remains the legal owner of an Upper East Side condo in Manhattan–which he has declared as his permanent residence–and one in Palm Beach, Florida, as well as some World Series rings he received as an inheritance from his father.
Giuliani confirmed that he had reached “a resolution of the litigation,” specifying that it “does not involve an admission of liability or wrongdoing by any of the Parties,” in a post on X. He concluded, “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.”
