Former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani has reportedly conceded that he made false statements about two Georgia election workers.
He also is not giving up the fight to dismiss the lawsuit.
"Mayor Rudy Giuliani did not acknowledge that the statements were false but did not contest it in order to move on to the portion of the case that will permit a motion to dismiss. This is a legal issue, not a factual issue. Those out to smear the mayor are ignoring the fact that this stipulation is designed to get to the legal issues of the case," Ted Goodman, political advisor to Mayor Rudy Giuliani
The two election workers -- Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea "Shay" Moss -- filed a defamation suit against Giuliani and the One America News Network in December 2021, accusing them of spreading false claims they had committed election fraud in the 2020 presidential election.Giuliani accused Freeman and Moss of passing USB drives "like vials of heroin or cocaine" and a heavily-edited clip of security footage was widely circulated online as supposed proof.
It was later revealed that Freeman handed her daughter a mint. Freeman and Moss were cleared by Georgia's State Election Board in June.
