An attorney for Rudy Giuliani has filed a notice that he intends to appeal the $148 million defamation verdict won by former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea’ “Shaye” Moss.

Late Tuesday, Texas-based attorney Joseph Sibley filed a notice of appeal on the docket of the Washington, D.C.-based defamation case the former New York City mayor lost after refusing to testify.

In that case, Giuliani was taken to task for a slanderous campaign against Freeman and Moss in which he falsely proclaimed the pair were engaged in fraud and had “cheated” voters in the 2020 election. Those lies were rebroadcast by former President Donald Trump — and others in his orbit — and shared far and wide. Despite being quickly and thoroughly debunked, the lies were seized upon by adherents of the 45th president, leading to hundreds of death threats — many of them racist — against the mother and daughter, who are Black.

The verdict against Trump’s longtime friend and former lawyer was issued in mid-December 2023, but almost immediately stayed after Giuliani filed for bankruptcy in the Southern District of New York. Earlier on Tuesday, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane lifted the stay on the defamation case and allowed an appeal to be filed.
