A federal judge has determined that Rudy Giuliani has lost a defamation lawsuit from two Georgia election workers against him after he failed to provide information sought in subpoenas.

The decision could lead to significant penalties for the former Donald Trump attorney.

In court in recent weeks, Giuliani said he could no longer contest that he made false and defamatory statements about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss – who are only one group of plaintiffs suing him for defamation related to his work for Trump after the 2020 election.

      You would only be in trouble if your emails were first subpoenaed, and before complying, you continued deleting your email.

      Document disposal due to established practices and which fall within regulatory requirements are not at issue.

      You won’t get in trouble for deleting your emails when your inbox fills up if you haven’t been served with a subpoena.

      IANAL but I like to read up on legal stuff.
