A federal judge has ordered Rudy Giuliani to turn over his New York City apartment and various other assets to two Georgia election workers who won a $148 million defamation judgment against him. Judge Lewis Liman in Manhattan issued the ruling Tuesday.

U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., is asking the Justice Department (DOJ) and the FBI to make sure they’re taking steps to protect election workers this year and ensure the efficient administration of elections.

Rudy Giuliani's bankruptcy has come under fire from creditors including two former Georgia election workers who won a $148 million defamation judgment against him. The creditors say they'll likely ask next week that the case be dismissed and accuse Giuliani of flouting bankruptcy rules.

This week in Congress, Sen. Jon Ossoff introduced legislation that would prevent acts of violence and threats against election workers and at poll places after Georgia election workers Shaye Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman were threatened after the 2020 election.

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson sat down with Morning Edition in Detroit days ahead of the state's primary to discuss her approach to election security in 2024.

The bankruptcy filing follows a Wednesday court order that Giuliani, a former campaign attorney for Donald Trump, must immediately pay millions to two 2020 election workers that he defamed.

Threatening letters sent to local election offices in at least five states, some including fentanyl, are the latest concern for local election workers around the country. They already have faced harassment and even death threats since the 2020 presidential election.

The letters were sent to elections offices in the presidential battlegrounds of Georgia and Nevada, as well as California, Oregon and Washington, with some being intercepted before they arrived.
