Ruby Freeman & Wandrea’ Moss v. Rudolph Giuliani (formerly Freeman v. Herring Networks, Inc. d/b/a One America News Network et al.).
- June 27, 2022
Ruby Freeman and Wandrea’ Moss served as election workers in Fulton County, Georgia during the 2020 election. They originally filed suit against Herring Networks, Inc., which owns and operates One America News Network (OAN), OAN CEO Robert Herring, OAN President Charles Herring, OAN staffer Chanel Rion, and Rudolph Giuliani, a frequent OAN guest.
On April 19, 2022, our clients and the OAN defendants resolved the claims against those defendants to the mutual satisfaction of the parties through a fair and reasonable settlement. And on May 10, 2022, OAN defendants were removed from the litigation. The amended complaint alleges that Rudolph Giuliani knowingly and repeatedly disseminated false information about Ms. Freeman and Ms. Moss and their work for the County on election night. On October 31, 2022, the Court denied Mr. Giuliani’s motion to dismiss, holding that all of Ms. Freeman and Ms. Moss’s claims could proceed into discovery. In this litigation, Law for Truth, a Project of Protect Democracy, represents Ms. Freeman and Ms. Moss, in partnership with the law firms Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, and DuBose Miller LLC.
