Rudy Giuliani wants to delay his trial date with Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the two Georgia election workers he defamed and owes roughly $150 million, because he really wants to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration, an attorney for the mother-daughter duo told a judge on Monday.
A trial to enforce Giuliani’s payment to the women is set to begin on Jan. 16, just days before Trump will be sworn into office on Jan. 20. In a letter filed late Monday, Freeman and Moss’ attorney Aaron Nathan urged U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman to deny Giuliani’s Nov. 15 request for a month-long extension to deadlines in the case.
Giuliani’s lawyer Joseph Cammarata said this is because Giuliani has “‘plans to be ‘present’ at the presidential inauguration’... and because, in Defendant counsel’s words, ’there are inauguration events planned for, I believe, January 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20, 2025.”
Cammarata said there would be “no harm” done if the trial was simply adjourned for just a few days and resumed by Jan. 22, according to Nathan. This is but the latest turn in a very long series of delays that have persistently dogged the mother and daughter pair’s attempt to collect from President-elect Donald Trump’s onetime personal lawyer and co-defendant in the Georgia election interference case.
