Here's the video that could help Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss win a lawsuit against Trump
Former President Donald Trump's ally Rudy Giuliani faces a $148 million judgment for pushing lies and conspiracy theories about Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss after their lives and reputations were completely derailed by threats and harassment.
But Giuliani could be just the beginning, argued MSNBC's Ali Velshi on Monday — the former president himself could end up on the hook as well.
"What about Donald Trump himself?" said Velshi. "If Giuliani is guilty of defaming two innocent people, knowingly spreading lies at their expense, is the disgraced ex-president as well?"
Logically it would follow, Velshi said, because "The January 6th Select Committee clearly illustrated the way Trump targeted Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss in the aftermath of the election. This was the crowd in Valdosta, Georgia, at a Trump rally on December the 5th, 2020. Remember, this was after the election. What they're doing is watching the video incorrectly purporting to show Moss and Freeman engaged in election fraud, and after that, this is what Trump said."
"So, if you just take the crime of what those Democrat workers were doing — by the way, there was no water main break," said Trump in the clip. "You know, they said there was no water main break. That's ten times more than I need to win this state, ten times more. It is ten times, maybe more than that, but it is ten times more because we lost by a very close number."
"Beyond the scope of civil litigation, what sort of overlap exists between the Giuliani ruling and Trump's criminal case in Fulton County, Georgia?" Velshi added. "Trump mentioned Ruby Freeman 18 times on that infamous 'Find me 11,000 votes' call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, after all. What is next?"
