2 Georgia election workers who were the target of vote-rigging conspiracy theories have sued the One America News Network, its top executives, and Rudy Giuliani for allegedly spreading lies about them
Two Georgia election workers are suing One America News Network's parent company, its top officials and former President Trump's ex-lawyer Rudy Giuliani over election fraud claims touted in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, contending that the parties' assertions were defamatory.
Moss and Freeman are alleging that OAN aired false stories claiming that the two election workers were plotting to count illicit ballots in an effort to tip the race towards then-candidate Joe Biden, according to Reuters. Those claims, however, have been proven false by Georgia election officials. The suit says that Giuliani "amplified the video by posting about it on social media," and accuses "OAN, its hosts, and its staff" of publishing Giuliani's claims "to millions of its viewers and readers."
, Freeman received threatening messages, harassing phone calls and had strangers knocking on her door.Moss's old phone, which her 14-year-old son was using at the time, reportedly received a number of threatening phone calls. According to the lawsuit, the harassing phone calls persisted for months.
