Delusional Giuliani Says He Defamed Women 'For My Country'

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Sunday offered a justification after he was found liable for defaming two former Georgia election workers, Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman.

On his Sunday WABC radio program, Giuliani congratulated himself for a "brilliant legal move" because he recommended that then-President Donald Trump take his rigged election claims to state legislatures instead of the courts after the 2020 presidential vote.

"I went to Georgia, indicted, I went to Michigan, I went to Pennsylvania, I went to Arizona, and I went there, and I testified, and I brought my witnesses, and I said, among other things, if we lose, we'll have a historical record, yet we're going to prove this one day, Mr. President," he recalled telling Trump. "I don't even realize they're going to try to put us in prison, arrest us, raid our apartments."

"I would have to turn my back on my client and double-crossed him as, unfortunately, several people did," he continued before referring to the defamation case.

"And when I was asked when I walked out of that verdict of $145 [sic] million, which I must say you know there's $145 million, they said, do you regret anything?" he said. "And I thought about it, and I said no because I did it for my country."

"Now you may elect to believe that or not," Giuliani added. "You may think I'm self-aggrandizing."
