We were set to find out this week how much Rudy Giuliani was going to have to pay Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, a voter registration officer, and her mother Ruby Freeman for defaming them and his lie that they were trying to rig the 2020 election against Trump, before the idiot went out there this Tuesday and defamed them again outside of the courtroom.

Now, despite the promises made by Giuliani that he was going to testify, his lawyer told reporters we won't be seeing him take the stand after all:

Giuliani won't testify, attorney says

In an unexpected twist, Rudy Giuliani will not testify in his defamation trial, an attorney said as court convened this morning.

Giuliani told reporters on Wednesday that he "intends" to testify today in his own defense.

In a preview of what he might have said on the stand, Giuliani claimed he "had nothing to do with any of those" racist voicemails and emails shown in court.

So, that's it for the defense:

Defense rests its case without calling any witnesses

When jurors entered the courtroom, Trump attorney Joseph Sibley rested his case without presenting any witnesses or entering any records into evidence.

An attorney for Freeman and Moss then began his closing argument.

Here was Rudy when he was still pretending he was going to testify:

And Rudy files for bankruptcy in 5... 4... 3....

UPDATE: Per Scott McFarlane, here's how the trial is wrapping up today. Not a great day for Rudy when you're lawyer's best defense is... it's all the Gateway Pundit's fault.
