Rudy Giuliani disbarred over ‘false and misleading’ statements on 2020 election
SUMMARY: Rudy Giuliani has been disbarred by the Appellate Division First Department in New York, a consequence of his false and misleading statements related to former President Donald Trump's 2020 reelection efforts. Giuliani claimed he believed his statements at the time, but the court was unconvinced, arguing he should have known better. The ruling emphasizes the seriousness of his misconduct and its contribution to national strife post-election. Giuliani and several Trump allies pleaded not guilty in Arizona for efforts to overturn the election results, and he agreed to cease election fraud allegations against two Georgia workers after losing a defamation case.
