In a court filing last night, Rudy Giuliani admitted he lied about a key allegation that fueled the “Stop the Steal” movement in Georgia. Giuliani and others in Donald Trump’s post-election efforts accused two election workers — a mother and daughter — of manipulating ballots to wipe out Trump votes. A video of the ballot processing fueled this allegation, even though Georgia election officials insisted it showed nothing out of the ordinary.
Giuliani admitted to making false statements in accusing the two women, who are suing him for defamation. But Giuliani asserts in the same filing that he has a First Amendment right to, er … promote falsehoods, or something:
Rudolph W. Giuliani has admitted that while acting as a lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump, he made false statements in asserting that two Georgia election workers had mishandled ballots while counting votes in Atlanta during the 2020 election.
The admission by Mr. Giuliani came in court papers filed on Tuesday night as part of a defamation lawsuit that the two workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, had brought against him in Federal District Court in Washington in December 2021.
In fact, Giuliani even admits in the filing that his statements were “defamatory per se,” and that they were both false and “actionable,” and that he was no longer disputing the factual allegations made by the two women. That in itself might be news to people who have stood by the claims made by Giuliani and Team Trump for more than two and a half years. Many of them refused to believe efforts to debunk these claims because Trump’s attorneys kept asserting them as fact, especially Giuliani.
