Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has reached a settlement with two Georgia election workers that he defamed, according to a court filing Thursday.

The settlement follows a Washington, D.C., jury in 2023 awarding the workers – Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss – $146 million for being defamed by Giuliani, who accused them of rigging the 2020 election in Georgia, according to The Hill newspaper.

According to the settlement, Giuliani will be keeping his apartment in New York City and condo in Florida in exchange for compensation of the election workers.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs have been trying to get Giuliani to pay the settlement and have tried to force him to sell personal property and real estate for the cash.

Giuliani has been trying to hold onto the Manhattan property and his $3.5 million Florida condo, which is his primary residence, amid the legal wrangling about whether one or both can be exempt from debt collection efforts.

"I have been able to retain my New York coop and Florida Condominium and all of my personal belongings," he wrote on the social media platform, X. "No one deserves to be subjected to threats, harassment, or intimidation. This litigation has taken its toll on all parties."

Freeman and Moss said: "Today is a major milestone in our journey. We have reached an agreement and we can now move forward with our lives. We have agreed to allow Mr. Giuliani to retain his property in exchange for compensation and his promise not to ever defame us.”

Ruby and Shaye are going to have a hard time spending all that loot from behind bars.
