Rudy Giuliani ordered to be ‘present in person’ for every day of trial to determine how much he owes Georgia election workers he defamed – By Brandi Buchman (Law & Order) / Sept 21, 2023
Starting Dec. 11, there will be no phoning it in for Rudy Giuliani after a federal judge ordered that he must physically appear in court for every day of his impending defamation trial involving Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ArShaye Moss.
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell found Giuliani automatically liable for defaming the Georgia poll workers in a scorching opinion issued this August after he refused to turn over records for discovery in the case. Howell set a Dec. 11 trial date — which be only to determine damages — in a paperless order late Wednesday
“[O]n December 11, 2023, at 9:00 AM, the parties are directed to appear in Courtroom 26A for jury selection for a trial in this matter, with plaintiffs and defendant present in person for the duration of trial,” the docket entry said.
