Giuliani Disbarred Over 2020 Election Lies

Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor and attorney for Donald Trump, has been disbarred by a New York appellate court for repeatedly making false statements about the 2020 election. The court found Giuliani's actions, which included promoting baseless claims of voter fraud and perjury, flagrantly violated legal ethics and undermined trust in the electoral process. Giuliani had his law license suspended in 2021 and is now barred from practicing law indefinitely. He plans to appeal the decision, claiming it is politically motivated. The ruling highlights Giuliani's significant role in post-election legal battles and his ongoing legal troubles, including criminal charges in Arizona and Georgia, and a $148 million defamation judgment. The disbarment is part of broader accountability efforts against lawyers involved in Trump's attempts to overturn the election results.
