Giuliani Disbarred in Washington, D.C.

Rudy Giuliani, former New York City Mayor and attorney for President Donald Trump, has been disbarred in Washington, D.C. This decision follows a similar action taken in New York. Giuliani lost his law license in New York earlier this year due to his pursuit of claims regarding the past presidential election results on Trump’s behalf. The three-judge panel of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals issued this latest disbarment.

Giuliani’s actions were deemed as having undermined the integrity of the election process. The review panel highlighted that Giuliani did not respond to an order to explain why he should not face disbarment in Washington. His spokesperson, Ted Goodman, called the decision “an absolute travesty and a total miscarriage of justice.”

Financial and Legal Troubles

Giuliani’s legal troubles are compounded by financial difficulties. He has faced criminal charges, and financial burdens due to his involvement in spreading election claims. Recently, a jury awarded two former Georgia election workers $148 million in damages in a defamation lawsuit against Giuliani. The workers accused Giuliani of falsely claiming they added extra ballots for Joe Biden.

Giuliani also filed for bankruptcy after the defamation verdict, but his case was dismissed for failing to comply with court orders. Additionally, his assets, including his New York apartment and New York Yankees memorabilia, are being targeted by the former Georgia election workers seeking compensation.

A Fall from Grace

Once hailed as “America’s mayor” for his leadership during the 9/11 attacks, Giuliani’s recent disbarments mark a significant fall from grace. He is currently facing multiple felony charges in Arizona and Georgia for attempting to overturn the past election results. Giuliani has pleaded not guilty to these charges.

This disbarment decision underscores the legal community’s response to Giuliani’s actions. The panel concluded that Giuliani’s claims destabilized democracy and the justice system.
