Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and Rudy Giuliani
0:05
the former New York City mayor, just got word from a judge in his defamation case, folks
0:11
and it's not great news. Before we get started, please remember to like, share, comment, and subscribe

Those little things really help us out and they help our channel continue to grow. So the judge in Rudy Giuliani's case has ruled that he's basically liable for defamation
0:27
against Ruby Freeman and another election worker. These are names you might have heard of during the 2020 election
0:33
A lot of rumors spread around them, a lot of defamatory comments made about them without
0:39
the evidence to back them up. Speculation, some people thought they had evidence, but really, no evidence that would
0:45
hold up in court. Here's the problem. Giuliani did not comply with the request for discovery in the case
0:53
What that means is the judge was furious. This is normally a three to five page decision that would come down for this, but this page
0:59
was over, well, this decision was over 50 something pages long and all about this defamation
1:05
case and the judge, you know, already Giuliani in fines, court fees, and attorney's fees
1:11
is going to have to pay upwards of six figures. That's not getting into the millions of dollars in damages that could happen here
1:19
Also, because of this decision, the judge said that the jury in the case could actually
1:24
look at this as Giuliani not complying and use that to their discretion when they go
1:31
to decide the case and say, well, he wasn't cooperative. Maybe that means he's guilty
1:37
So with that being said, that's a big, big deal for this, right? Because this could mean millions of dollars to the former New York City mayor
1:45
Giuliani's attorneys for their part say, well, that's not really what's going on here. And what this judge is doing is unfair
1:50
This is obviously a political witch hunt because why is there a 50 something page decision
1:57
in this case when this is normally take three to five pages? It doesn't make sense
2:01
So now they're saying that this is all politicized and this judge is just against Giuliani
2:06
That's going to be tough to prove in court. It's a great talking point
2:10
Very tough to prove. And the reason is because the judge didn't say anything specifically, you know, that
2:16
you can look to on social media or in a speech or another court case that was anti Rudy Giuliani. Right
2:22
So without that, what do you have to go on? I think personally, this is really bad news for Giuliani from a civil suit standpoint
2:30
This has nothing to do with the criminal case, but from a civil suit standpoint, this is
2:34
absolutely devastating because Giuliani is now going to have to go to court with this
2:38
against him for the punishment part of this trial. Forget about the actual case
2:43
He was already found liable. Now it's the punitive damages part of the case
2:47
Ruby Freeman is probably going to be a millionaire. So is her co-plaintiff in this case
2:52
They're probably going to be millionaires off of this. Now they argue that it ruined their lives
2:58
If it ruined their lives, they deserve millions of dollars. Right. OK
3:03
But did it really ruin your lives? I'm not here to judge that, but it does seem like a lot of Team Trump, people surrounding
3:08
President Trump, they're not getting the best of outcomes in courts. And that is suspect to me
3:15
So when I see that and I see this with Giuliani, it does make me wonder
3:19
50 something pages for this? Smacking him with six figures already before we even get to the punitive part of the case
3:27
Seems a little extreme to me. Seems like it's out of whack. I don't know
3:31
I mean, people have better legal minds than me. I am not somebody who went to law school, but I do want your opinions on this
3:38
So let me know in the comments. Do you think this, that the Trump team is getting a fair shake in court
3:43
Do you think this is all all these judges just conspiring against them or just hating
3:47
on them? Let me know in the comments. Also, please remember to like, share and subscribe, because again, that really helps us out
3:54
I'm Carmine Sabia. This is Explain America. We love you guys. God bless you
