Attorneys for Rudy Giuliani and two Georgia election workers said Thursday that a tentative settlement agreement has been reached that would mark the end of litigation by the women who won a multimillion-dollar defamation judgment against him.
The notice, which included sparse details about the settlement, indicated that the agreement would “fully resolve” disputes involving Giuliani’s Florida condominium and other prized possessions Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss have sought to collect.
It would also result in “the conclusion of all litigation” pending between Giuliani and the women. The attorneys indicated that execution of the settlement agreement is dependent on “certain conditions” being met, but did not expand on the matter.
The settlement agreement comes as Giuliani failed to appear for a trial scheduled to begin Thursday morning over his Palm Beach condo and three New York Yankees World Series rings.
Following the no-show, U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman rescheduled the trial to Tuesday. The parties are now asking the judge to adjourn both the trial and the continuation of a contempt hearing against Giuliani to after Feb. 25, so that the agreement may be executed.
In a statement on the social media platform X, Giuliani confirmed he reached an agreement with the women but said the resolution does not involve “an admission of liability or wrongdoing by any of the Parties.” He also said the agreement would allow him to retain his New York apartment, Florida condominium and “all of my personal belongings.”
“No one deserves to be subjected to threats, harassment, or intimidation,” Giuliani said. “This litigation has taken its toll on all parties. This whole episode was unfortunate. I and the Plaintiffs have agreed not to ever talk about each other in any defamatory manner, and I urge others to do the same.”
The Hill requested comment from Freeman and Moss’s lawyers.
