Defrocked attorney and characteristic Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani responded to an order by Federal District Judge Beryl Howell to explain how he’s going to defend himself in a defamation suit brought by Fulton County election workers Shae Moss and Ruby Freeman by basically saying, yeah, I said all those things and they were wrong and stuff, but it’s all protected free speech. Rudy apparently missed the law school class on defamation.
Defendant Giuliani concedes, for purposes of this litigation only, that liability in this case on Plaintiffs’ causes of action should be treated as though there is default liability. Giuliani specifically preserves his arguments that the statements complained of are protected and non-actionable opinion for purposes of appeal. Giuliani also does not waive his rights to require Plaintiffs to prove the amount of their alleged damages alleged caused by Giuliani’s conduct.
