Rudy Giuliani could face a do-or-die moment Thursday when he’s expected to take the stand to fight a defamation lawsuit brought by two former Georgia election workers, who faced a deluge of threats after he and others baselessly accused them of committing voter fraud in 2020.

“I hope the federal government hangs you and your daughter from the Capitol dome you treasonous piece of shit,” reads another email sent to Freeman.
Freeman says she received “hundreds” of these types of messages.

Freeman’s counsel plays part of the infamous Jan. 2 call between Trump and Georgia Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger.
During that call, counsel says, Trump used Freeman’s name 18 times.
