Rudy Giuliani won't take the witness stand after all.

The former personal lawyer for Donald Trump and New York City mayor has decided not to testify in his ongoing defamation trial brought by two Georgia election workers, who he falsely said manipulated ballots in the 2020 election.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs, Ruby Freeman and her daughter Weandra "Shaye" Moss, rested their case on Wednesday afternoon.
