The two Georgia election workers who just won a $148 million defamation verdict against Rudy Giuliani have filed another lawsuit accusing the disgraced former attorney of continuing to spread the same lies about their role in the 2020 election.

In the lawsuit filed Monday , Ruby Freeman and daughter Wandrea Shaye Moss have asked the federal court in Washington, D.C., for an injunction that permanently bars Giuliani from continuing to spread lies about them that have already been legally held as defamatory.

Giuliani has engaged in, and is engaging in, a continuing course of repetitive false speech and harassment specifically, repeating over and over the same lies that Plaintiffs engaged in election fraud during their service as election workers during the 2020 presidential election, the lawsuit said.

Freeman and Moss originally filed a lawsuit in 2021 that accused the former New York City mayor of defaming them by falsely claiming that they engaged in election fraud while counting ballots at Atlantas State Farm Arena to influence the outcome of the race. Giuliani used to serve as former President Donald Trumps personal attorney.

In July, Giuliani conceded in a court filing that he had lied about the two women. The ex-attorney refused to turn over key documents in the case, leading to a default judgment in August that concluded he was liable for defamation .

On Friday, a jury awarded Freeman and Moss $148 million for Giulianis lies $33 million for defamation, $40 million for emotional distress and $75 million in punitive damages. The two women testified in the case that Giuliani terrorized them with his lies , which led to Freeman moving into a new home under a different name to escape the threatening and violent messages.
