A federal judge ruled Wednesday that
Rudy Giuliani is legally liable for defaming two Georgia election
workers who became the subject of conspiracy theories related to the
2020 election that were amplified by Donald Trump in the final weeks of
his presidency. In an unsparing, 57-page ruling,
U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell said Giuliani had flagrantly
violated her orders to preserve and produce relevant evidence to the
election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, resulting in a “default”
judgment against him. She is also ordering him to pay Freeman and Moss
“punitive” damages for failing to fulfill his obligations.

unwillingness to pile on. Read more.
Daily Beast - Banks and insurance companies trying to keep the public in the dark about their business dealings with Donald Trump ran into a ray of legal sunshine on Tuesday, after a judge ruled that he wouldn’t seal records in the run-up to the New York Attorney General’s upcoming trial against the real estate mogul.

But the judge, Arthur F. Engoron, ruled that—aside from information like the home addresses of certain employees and bank account numbers—the public has a right to see the documents and communications.
