Rudy Giuliani loses law licenses in Washington, D.C. and N.Y., faces disbarment

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been disbarred from practicing law in Washington, D.C., following his suspension in July 2021 for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Two boards recommended that his law license be permanently revoked, citing his attempts to have votes for President Joe Biden overturned in Pennsylvania. The boards found that Giuliani violated professional conduct rules and had no evidence to support his claims of election fraud. The decision to disbar him was described as a travesty and a miscarriage of justice by his spokesperson. Giuliani also lost his law license in New York over similar actions and faces charges in Arizona and Georgia. Critics argue that his actions have undermined the integrity of the election and damaged democracy. Despite the backlash, Giuliani’s spokesperson defended his record as a prosecutor and called for the legal community to speak out against the decision. Giuliani’s disbarment in Washington is the latest consequence of his efforts to challenge the 2020 election results, which have been widely criticized as baseless and harmful to the democratic process.
