| 0:00.0 | Late last night at nearly midnight, former president Trump's attorney, Rudy Giuliani, |
| 0:06.4 | stopped contesting that he lied about the 2020 election. He waived the legal version of a white flag. |
| 0:14.8 | Specifically, Mr. Giuliani stopped contesting the claim that he made false statements about two |
| 0:20.5 | Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Shay Moss. |
| 0:25.2 | Ruby Freeman and Shay Freeman laws and one other gentleman, quite obviously surreptitiously |
| 0:33.1 | passing around, USB ports assist their vials of heroin or cocaine. |
| 0:39.6 | After the 2020 election, Giuliani used this video to push a conspiracy theory that somehow |
| 0:46.4 | with USB sticks and secret boxes of ballots, Ruby Freeman and Shay Moss had helped to steal the |
| 0:52.8 | election from Donald Trump in Georgia. In Trump's infamous call, pressuring Georgia Secretary of |
| 0:58.9 | State Brad Raffensberger to find him, nearly 12,000 votes, Trump himself brought up Ruby Freeman |

| 1:32.4 | passed each other was not a USB stick. It was a ginger mint. So when Mr. Giuliani made this major |
| 1:40.4 | concession last night, no longer contesting that he lied about Moss and Freeman in their defamation |
| 1:46.6 | case against him. When he did that, it was national news. And now today, Mr. Giuliani is saying that |
| 1:53.5 | this latest admission was not actually an admission at all. Giuliani released a video tonight |
| 1:59.9 | explaining that he isn't actually admitting that he lied. He is just no longer contesting that he |
| 2:06.5 | lied in this specific court case so that it can move forward. In other words, Giuliani didn't |
| 2:12.5 | want to have to prove he wasn't lying in court. I wonder why. So he's just going to stop contesting |
| 2:19.2 | the facts. And the facts are Giuliani lied about Ruby Freeman and Shay Moss. But don't get the man |
