Ruby Freeman and Wandrea "Shaye" Moss, a mother and daughter, sued Giuliani for defamation in the federal court in Washington, D.C., in 2021.
The former mayor of New York City asked for protection for his earlier views in a new court petition. He claimed, "While Giuliani does not admit to the allegations made against him, he does not contest the fact-based allegations solely for the purpose of legal strategy."
In a formal statement that he signed, Giuliani admitted that his remarks could be taken as defamatory and that they were both "actionable" and "false."
In addition, the statement said that Giuliani "is confident in his legal defenses" and wants to avoid wasting money on court cases he believes are pointless.
The request for comments was not immediately reacted to by Giuliani's lawyer. The recent filing, according to Giuliani's advisor Ted Gadlein, is a step beyond case discovery and seeks to present legal evidence, he said in a statement to The Guardian.
Giuliani's comments was important, according to Freeman and Moss's legal representative Michael J. Gottlieb. Giuliani's condition, he continued, "acknowledges what we have always known: Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss performed their civic duties during the 2020 presidential elections with honesty, and the claims of election fraud made against them by Giuliani and former President Trump are unfounded. We are happy to have reached this significant turning point in our pursuit of justice, and we eagerly anticipate arguing the remaining points in this case.

Giuliani "acknowledges what we have always known - Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss carried out their civic duties with integrity during the 2020 presidential elections, and the allegations of election fraud brought against them by Giuliani and former President Trump are baseless," according to a statement from Freeman and Moss' attorneys, Michael Gottlieb, in an email. The court still needs to rule on a few things, like damages.
Giuliani allegedly neglected to preserve evidence, according to a motion Freeman and Moss filed earlier this month. They demanded that U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell impose penalties.

Because all pertinent records were in the government's custody, ownership, or control, Giuliani's attorney claimed in the court declaration that Giuliani did not fail to secure or destroy any electronic evidence.
