Two election workers can go after Rudy Giuliani‘s coffee profits because the company involved is the former Donald Trump lawyer’s “alter ego,” a legal expert has said.
New York federal judge Lewis Liman on Thursday sharply criticized Giuliani’s attempts to use company law to stop Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Shaye Moss, from freezing funds held by Giuliani Communications.
It was while acting as Trump‘s attorney during the 2020 election that the former New York mayor wrongly claimed that Freeman and Moss could be seen on CCTV adding ballots for Joe Biden at an Atlanta count center. They sued for defamation, then a Washington, D.C., jury awarded them $148 million in December 2023, and they are now seeking to claim that money from Giuliani.
