Rudy Giuliani,<\/strong> whose path<\/a> from \u201cAmerica\u2019s mayor<\/a>\u201d\u00a0to \u201cChrist, somebody call security<\/a>\u201d will no doubt be studied for decades to come, has a lot of legal problems, most (but not all<\/a>!) of which stem from his attempt to overturn the 2020 election. For instance, this week Giuliani is in court to determine how much money he should have to pay Ruby Freeman<\/strong> and Shaye Moss<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> the election workers the former mayor has admitted to<\/a>\u2014and been officially found liable for<\/a>\u2014defaming. And so far, things are not going well for the guy, on account of his inability to stop pissing off the judge.<\/p>\n Yes, after showing up 20 minutes late on the first day of the proceedings, and apparently coming very close to flashing the courtroom<\/a>, Giuliani really provoked Judge Beryl Howell<\/strong>\u2019s ire when he went on an extended rant to reporters in which he repeated the same election lies that got him sued by Freeman and Moss in the first place. \u201cEverything I said about them is true,\u201d Giuliani shamelessly claimed Monday night. \u201cThey were engaged in changing the votes.\u201d Told there is no proof whatsoever of that, he insisted: \u201cYou\u2019re damn right there is. Stay tuned.\u201d<\/p>\n This content can also be viewed on the site it originates<\/a> from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Back in court on Tuesday, Howell warned<\/a> Giuliani he could face another defamation claim, and asked his attorney, Joseph Sibley,<\/strong> \u201cWas Mr. Giuliani just playing for the cameras?\u201d To which Sibley basically responded that his client is a loose cannon and he\u2019d love it if the ex-mayor turned Trump attorney would shut the f–k up.<\/p>\n Per the Daily Beast<\/a>:<\/p>\n Sibley conceded that Giuliani\u2019s comments were unfortunate, adding that he \u201ccan\u2019t control everything he does,\u201d especially outside the courtroom. Later Tuesday, Sibley\u00a0said in court, \u201cMy client, as you saw last night, likes to talk a lot, unfortunately.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n Later Sibley attempted to suggest that Giuliani should not be judged too harshly and that his behavior is the result of being an old man, saying: \u201cThis has taken a bit of a toll on him. He\u2019s almost 80 years old. There are health concerns for Mr. Giuliani.\u201d The day prior, Sibley asked<\/a> the jury to take pity on his client, saying the roughly $43 million Freeman and Moss have requested in damages \u201cwould be the end of Mr. Giuliani\u201d and the \u201ccivil equivalent of the death penalty.\u201d<\/p>\n One might say those consequences are actually entirely appropriate given the havoc Giuliani has wreaked on these women\u2019s lives. On Tuesday, Moss told<\/a> the jury that after he spread baseless about her and her mother, \u201cI was afraid for my life. I literally felt like someone going to come and attempt to hang me and there\u2019s nothing that anyone will be able to do about it,\u201d adding<\/a>: \u201cDecember 4, 2020, was the last day I was this outgoing, happy, bubbly Shaye. That was the day that everything in my life changed; everything just flipped upside down.\u201d She also said<\/a>: \u201cI now am very anxious. I have these nonstop anxious sweats. I have a lot of dark moments. I no longer go out. I will not be caught out anywhere alone, ever\u2026. I look totally different, I gained like 70 pounds. I stress eat, I cry a lot. I\u2019m just this whole new stressed-out person.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\nX content<\/h4>\n
