Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani disbarred for lying about Trump's 2020 election
NEW YORK - Rudolph Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, federal prosecutor and legal advisor to Donald Trump, was disbarred in the state on Tuesday after a court found he repeatedly made false statements about Donald Trump's 2020 election loss.
The decision was handed down by a New York appeals court in Manhattan.
The court ruled that Giuliani be "disbarred from the practice of law, effective immediately, and until the further order of this Court, and his name stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law in the State of New York."
Giuliani has already had his New York law license suspended for false statements he made after the election.

Rudy Giuliani's mugshot released as he's accused in Arizona's fake electors scheme
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office released Rudy Giuliani's mugshot on June 10 as he's accused in Arizona's fake electors scheme.
Giuliani was the primary mouthpiece for Trump’s false claims of election fraud after the 2020 vote, standing at a press conference in front of Four Seasons Total Landscaping outside Philadelphia on the day the race was called for Democrat Joe Biden over the Republican Trump and saying they would challenge what he claimed was a vast conspiracy by Democrats.
Lies around the election results helped push an angry mob of pro-Trump rioters to storm the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 in an effort to stop the certification of Biden’s victory.
