Plaintiffs' attorney Michael Gottlieb concluded his closing arguments with a plea for jurors to "send a message" with their verdict.

"Send it to Mr. Giuliani," he said. "But send it to every other powerful figure ... who is considering whether they'll take this chance ... to assassinate the character of ordinary people."

Gottlieb said Giuliani "abused his notoriety" and "access to power" to "scapegoat Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss," telling jurors "he has no right to offer up two civil servants to a virtual mob."

"Facts matter," he said in closing. "Truth is truth. And you will be held accountable."

Giuliani attorney Joseph Sibley will present his closing arguments after a short break, after which the case will go to the jury.

Michael Gottlieb, an attorney for Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, asked jurors to award $24 million to each women -- a total cost to Giuliani of $48 million -- during his closing argument.

Gottlieb warned jurors that Joseph Sibley, an attorney for Giuliani, would call that sum an "outrageous and unfair amount."

"But it isn't," Gottlieb said. That figure is "not even close" to the reputational damage prompted by Giuliani's defamatory statements.

"This isn't a mathematical calculation," Gottlieb said. Jurors must "determine in dollars and cents" seemingly arbitrary factors such as the two women's "standing in the community" and "reputational harm."

Gottlieb said Freeman and Moss have experienced “what it’s like to become the targets of some of the most powerful men on the planet" and that they continue to know "full-well those men are still out there, saying the same things and making the same calls to action.”

In closing arguments, plaintiffs' attorney Michael Gottlieb used Rudy Giuliani's own words against him, playing video of the former mayor's exchange with ABC News' Terry Moran outside of court on Monday.

Giuliani told Moran, "Everything I said about them is true" and that the women "were engaged in changing votes," referring to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.

"That is a fiction," Gottlieb told jurors. "And it ends today."

Gottlieb also cited a passage from Giuliani's best-selling book, "Leadership," in which Giuliani said his father instructed him from a young age not to bully or attack vulnerable people.

"Those are wise words," said Gottlieb. "If only Mr. Giuliani had listened."

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.
