giuliani must pay ruby freeman and shea moss, the two georgia election workers that giuliani falsely accused of stealing votes in the 2020 election. after the verdict, giuliani came out to the cameras. possibly we ll move for a new trial. certainly we ll appeal. the absurdity of the number merely underscores the absurdity of the entire proceeding. the comments they received i had nothing to do with. my comments had no connection at all to those. there were thousands of things in the press about this. of which mine were a small amount. you ll recall that back in august, the judge, beryl howell, issued a default judgment against jean y allny based on his admissions and failure to turn over evidence in the case. the task for the jury was to put a number on the human toll that moss and freeman suffered because of giuliani s lies. now cameras are not allowed in federal court, but we know what that toll looked like because moss and freeman have indicated the injuries that they

it and they did not tell me before they changed it. so christie, were you given any explanation, was there not an initial reaction to what y all had drafted and chelsea put together, warning you that there would be changes? no. none whatsoever. look what the usa today essentially did was they lied to chelsea. they agreed to publish her story in her own words and then three days later without explanation, without apology, not only censored her words and called them hurtful, the scientific term she was using but went beyond that and actually put words in her mouth and changed the essence of her story so what they have done here is just outrageous. shannon: usa today s editor says this, column has been updated to reflect usa today s standards and style guidelines. we regret that hurtful language was used. they expressed regret over your piece but no regret, apology has
it put don in the position where he had to give all that testimony. and it just was dumb advice from a c-grade legal team. dumb advice from a c-grade legal team? you agree with that? it was stunning. when they gave him permission, dowd and ty cobb, to go ahead and talk almost contemporaneously with events that were unfolding to probably the grand jury at maximum, and at minimum, the top investigators in the special counsel s office. so he unloaded as it was all going along. 30 hours. and they did not claim privilege. they did waive it. so christie nailed that. they could have at least, if they wanted to block the testimony, they could have fought it. attorney-client privilege is a tricky thing for white house counsel. ken starr back during the clinton administration broke right through that privilege when hillary clinton claimed it, and that s the precedent in the district of columbia, that there
