A settlement was reached on Thursday between Rudy Giuliani and two former Georgia election workers to decide the ownership of his Florida condominium and three World Series rings, which were sought to satisfy a US$148m (€143.7m) defamation judgment against him.

The deal negated the need for a trial that was supposed to begin on Thursday morning at a federal court in Manhattan, where Giuliani was scheduled to be the first witness.
