What did the election workers claim?

The women argued their lives were disrupted when Giuliani falsely claimed they engaged in election fraud in the critical swing state of Georgia, saying they experienced racist and violent threats in the years following the election.

Was Giuliani ordered to hand over his possessions?

Before the settlement, Giuliani was asked to hand over multiple belongings, including a dozen luxury watches, a Mercedes-Benz car once owned by movie star Lauren Bacall, his $6 million Manhattan apartment and an autographed Joe DiMaggio baseball jersey.

But under the terms of the deal, Giuliani kept his possessions.

The former Trump attorney also agreed to never talk about the women in a defamatory way.

Giuliani was held in contempt of court twice this year for noncompliance throughout the debt collection process.

Before facing legal challenges, Giuliani was mayor of New York City, ran for president in 2008 and later went on to advise President Donald Trump.
