Rudy Giuliani must pay millions over false election claims | BBC News

Former US President Donald Trump's ex-personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, has been ordered to pay $148m (£116m) to two Georgia women over his false claims they tampered with votes in 2020.

A judge had already found Mr Giuliani, 79, liable of making defamatory claims about Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea "Shaye" Moss.

They had sought between $15m and $43m in damages.

The verdict came after a four-day trial to determine the penalty.
