Giuliani to Go on Trial for Damages in Defamation Case
A federal jury will be selected to decide how much Rudolph Giuliani should pay for spreading lies about two Georgia election workers as he fought to keep Donald Trump in office.After fighting the case for months, Mr. Giuliani reversed himself this summer and, seeking to avoid crippling legal fees, abruptly acknowledged that his serial attacks against the women were false. Weeks later, a federal judge agreed with him and entered a judgment holding him liable for defamation, civil conspiracy and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Now Mr. Giuliani will have to endure a trial on the single question of whether he should have to pay what could be more than $40 million in damages. The proceeding, in Federal District Court in Washington, is scheduled to start with jury selection on Monday morning and is expected to continue through the week with testimony from both the plaintiffs and Mr. Giuliani.

One would've thought a man who traveled in political/financial/celebrity circles in NYC would've been keenly aware of how toxic getting close to the Trump family could be. Then again, Rudy was always a bit weird, a prima donna, and fool who drank to much for his own good. He has no friends rushing in to help him. He has been kicked to the side of the road by his benefactor Trump.
