Rudy Giuliani disbarred, loses New York law license

Former mayor Rudy Giuliani has been disbarred in the state of New York.

A New York appeals court in Manhattan ruled Tuesday the 80-year-old politician — once known as “America’s Mayor” — should be stripped of his license for repeatedly lying in an attempt to keep Donald Trump in office after he lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.

Giuliani’s disbarment is “effective immediately” and his name was ordered to be “stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law in the State of New York.”

Giuliani’s license in New York had already been suspended following false statements he made after the election. Falsehoods spread by the Republican politician who once served as Trump’s lawyer have also made the former mayor the target of a criminal indictment in Arizona and a $148 million civil suit in Georgia.
