Rudy Giuliani made strong accusations against a pair of Georgia election workers connected to the state swinging in favor of President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election against former president Donald Trump. In a court filing earlier this week, Rudy Giuliani conceded to making false statements against the workers that he accused of tampering with ballots.
Rudy Giuliani, 79, stated his admission in a court filing this past Tuesday (July 25) in connection to a defamation lawsuit brought by the two Georgia election workers that the former New York mayor accused of fixing the ballots in favor of President Biden. Back in 2021, Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss filed a defamation lawsuit in Washington, D.C.
In the statement filed by Giuliani, he is no longer contesting the statements he made against Freeman and Moss, which could essentially be seen as an admission that he falsified the claims. Politico adds in its reporting that this isn’t a signal Giuliani is allowing the lawsuit to move ahead unchallenged but instead moves the case to the legal arguments stage in order to determine if he will be held responsible for the damages requested in the lawsuit from the mother and daughter.
“Mayor Rudy Giuliani did not acknowledge that the statements were false but did not contest it in order to move on to the portion of the case that will permit a motion to dismiss,” aide Ted Goodman said. “This is a legal issue, not a factual issue. Those out to smear the mayor are ignoring the fact that this stipulation is designed to get to the legal issues of the case.”
While Giuliani’s side maintains that his statement falls just short of an admission of making the charges against the workers, the legal team for Freeman and Moss are seeing this as a favorable outcome for their clients.
“Giuliani’s stipulation concedes what we have always known to be true — Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss honorably performed their civic duties in the 2020 presidential election in full compliance with the law, and the allegations of election fraud he and former-President Trump made against them have been false since day one,” Michael J. Gottlieb, partner at Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, offered in a statement. “While certain issues, including damages, remain to be decided by the court, our clients are pleased with this major milestone in their fight for justice, and look forward to presenting what remains of this case at trial.”

President Joe Biden is set to establish a national monument to honor the late Emmett Till and his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley.
President Biden is signing a proclamation Tuesday (July 25) to create the monuments at the White House. The signing comes on the 82nd anniversary of the teenager’s birth. The Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument will consist of three protected sites honoring the family in Illinois, where Emmett was born and raised, and in Mississippi where he was lynched in 1955 at the age of 14 after being falsely accused of whistling at a white woman, Carolyn Bryant Donham.
The first site is the Roberts Temple Church of God in Christ in Chicago. The church is where Till’s funeral was held in September 1955. Ms. Till-Mobley insisted on her son’s casket being opened to show his mutilated body, shocking the 1,700 attendees and the world. The moment is credited as a catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement’s progress through the late 1950s and 1960s.
The other two sites are in Mississippi. Graball Landing in Tallahatchie County is believed to be the site where Till’s body was pulled from the Tallahatchie River. The site is notable for having a sign placed at it in 2008 but needing to be replaced after multiple instances of vandalism. A new bulletproof sign detailing that history and what happened now stands there. The third site is the Tallahatchie County Second District Courthouse, where Till’s killers Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam were acquitted by an all-white jury.
The proclamation comes amidst an explosive divisive political battle currently going on nationwide that seeks to restrict how Black history in America is being taught in schools. Florida Governor and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis is squarely in the middle, as Florida education officials introduced new standards saying “slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.” That drew a scathing rebuke from Vice President Kamala Harris, who said in a recent speech that “They insult us in an attempt to gaslight us and we will not stand for it.”

If the beef (or non-beef?) between Anita Baker and Babyface wasn’t on your 2023 Bingo card, wait until you hear about the ongoing feud between GOP Reps Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert. Apparently, the Dumb and Dumber duo has gone from heckling the president together to having it out on the House floor Wednesday because Majorie Taylor Greene thinks Lauren Boebert copied her homework while drafting arbitrary articles of impeachment for President Joe Biden.
From the Daily Beast:
The angry exchange came as the two lawmakers have been swiping at each other over their competing resolutions to impeach President Joe Biden. But tensions came to a head on Wednesday after Boebert leveraged a procedural tool to force a vote on her own impeachment resolution within days—undercutting Greene, who had offered her own resolution, but not with the procedural advantages of forcing a vote.
Greene apparently cursed out Boebert while the House was voting Wednesday afternoon, as the two spoke in a center aisle of the House floor; part of their interaction was captured on C-SPAN’s cameras.
According to two of the sources, Greene then stood up and alleged that Boebert “copied my articles of impeachment,” to which the Colorado lawmaker fired back that she hadn’t even read Greene’s resolution.
In fact, not only did the two nearly get into a KKKaren catfight on the House floor, but Greene was heard calling Boebert a “little b*tch” to her face.
“I’ve donated to you, I’ve defended you. But you’ve been nothing but a little b*tch to me,” Greene told Boebert, according to one source who was present during the altercation. “And you copied my articles of impeachment after I asked you to cosponsor them.”
Greene and Boebert both appeared to confirm that the exchange happened. In fact, Greene even repeated the expletive she called Boebert during a separate interview.
“She has genuinely been a nasty little b*tch to me,” Greene told Semafor. “I told her exactly what I think about her.”
Meanwhile, Boebert appeared to be trying to take the high road when she told the Daily Beast that Greene is “not my enemy.”
“I came here to protect our children and their posterity,” she said. “Joe Biden and the Democrats are destroying our country. My priorities are to correct their bad policies and save America.” (Somebody should probably tell her you can’t impeach a president just because you don’t like their policies, but whatever.)
Boebert also told CNN, “I’m not in middle school,” despite her and Greene’s public behavior consistently indicating otherwise, and the fact that Greene appears to have done a terrible job of folding her arms over her paper so Boebert couldn’t cheat off of her.
Just sayin’.

Residents in the region around Washington D.C. got startled by a sonic boom, which officials state was caused by fighter jets intercepting a private plane.
On Sunday afternoon (June 4th), a loud noise that resonated across most of the area around Washington D.C. caught the attention of many residents. Officials with North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, confirmed to the press later on that night that the noise was a sonic boom, attributing it to two F-16 fighter jets that were scrambled from Joint Base Andrews in an authorized response to a Cessna Citation plane that entered restricted airspace over Virginia.
NORAD went on to state that when hailed by the F-16s, the Cessna was unresponsive, even as the jets used flares to get the pilot’s attention. The plane would later crash close to the George Washington National Forest near Montebello, Virginia close to 3:30 P.M., and they said it was not shot down.
The Federal Aviation Association issued its own statement, and stated that air traffic control attempts to reach the plane had been unsuccessful. According to tracking data, the Cessna Citation apparently left Elizabethton, Tennessee at 1:13 P.M., then reached Long Island before turning back around towards Virginia.
The sonic boom caused many to react across the region from Bowie, Maryland to Annandale Virginia, and speculate on the cause. President Joe Biden was out golfing with his brother, Jimmy close to Joint Base Andrews and reportedly heard “a faint boom”. The president was fully briefed on the situation, a spokesperson for the White House said. Police at the U.S. Capitol were briefly placed on alert, according to authorities.
The FAA said that investigators for the National Transportation and Safety Board were making their way to the crash scene, hoping to arrive there on Monday (June 5th). The private business jet was confirmed to be owned by Encore Motors of Melbourne, a Florida-based company.
John Rumpel, a 75-year-old pilot who runs Encore Motors, confirmed to the New York Times that his daughter, granddaughter, and a nanny were on the plane with the pilot returning home to East Hampton, N.Y. after visiting him in North Carolina.
In tears, Rumpel theorized that the plane might’ve lost pressurization, saying that “they all just would have gone to sleep and never woke up.” Virginia State Police would later confirm that first responders reached the site at 8 P.M. that evening, and found no survivors.

President Joe Biden traveled to Selma, Ala. over the weekend for the 58th anniversary of the deadly “Bloody Sunday” incident and declared the fight that began nearly six decades ago is still ongoing. In a speech, President Biden said that the right to vote is still under attack in the United States with the Voting Rights Act facing changes under the conservative-majority Supreme Court.
As the Associated Press and New York Times reports, President Joe Biden spoke to gatherers seated near the Edmund Pettus Bridge, the site of the “Bloody Sunday” event where peaceful demonstrators were assaulted on March 7, 1965, for simply crossing the bridge heading into Montgomery, Ala. Among those harmed that fateful day was the late congressman John Lewis before his vaunted political career took off.
A bill, The John Lewis Voting Rights Act, failed in Congress when the Democratic Party held a slim majority. With the House now controlled by the Republican Party, the bill has little chance of seeing the light of day as a full-on law.
“As I come here in commemoration, not for show, Selma is a reckoning,” Biden said. “The right to vote, the right to vote, to have your vote counted, is the threshold of democracy and liberty. With it, anything’s possible. Without it, without that right, nothing is possible.”
The disturbing images of the Bloody Sunday event still shock the senses as police and townsfolk unleashed violent rage on the marchers simply angling for a right to the democratic process and having their voices count among their fellow countrymen.
President Joe Biden also spoke widely about the state of the economy and also spoke directly to the concerns of local residents still recovering from the destruction of storms that erupted in the area on January 12.
President Biden’s full speech can be read here.
