In a December 22, 2023, revelation, Mary Trump, the niece of former President Donald Trump, announced that she possesses evidence of her uncle’s defamation of two Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. The two workers had filed a $150 million lawsuit against Trump for spreading false claims about them rigging the 2020 election in favor of Joe Biden.
Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist and author, shared the evidence with the lawyers representing Freeman and Moss. She claimed to have recordings of Trump repeating the same false accusations made by his former lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, who was recently ordered to pay $148 million for defamation.
Giuliani had slandered Freeman and Moss, accusing them of fabricating votes and staging a fake water main break during the election. Trump echoed these claims in a phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, pressuring him to overturn the election results. Mary Trump decided to come forward with the evidence after Giuliani’s verdict, expressing a desire to assist Freeman and Moss, who faced harassment and threats due to the false accusations.
Mary Trump emphasized the need for accountability, stating that her uncle should face justice and not escape the consequences of his actions. She praised Freeman and Moss, asserting that they deserve justice, and called for accountability for those involved in the defamation, including Donald Trump.
