Donald Trump’s close ally and former top campaign lawyer Rudy Giuliani “disgraced” the names of two 2020 Georgia election workers and should pay them millions of dollars in damages, an attorney for the women told jurors at the start of his trial Monday.

With Giuliani looking on in a Washington courtroom, jurors heard audio and saw excerpts of what the plaintiffs said was a small sample of the hundreds of violent and racist messages that Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea “Shaye” Moss received after Giuliani, Trump and others promoted false conspiracy theories about them.
