Thu Sep 26 13:29:40 UTC 2024: ## Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani Disbarred in D.C. for Election Lies

**Washington, D.C. -** Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City Mayor and close advisor to Donald Trump, has been disbarred in the District of Columbia for his role in attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

A D.C. Court of Appeals panel upheld a previous ruling from a bar discipline committee that Giuliani’s actions were “frivolous” and “destructive,” and that his “unparalleled” attempts to disrupt the election warranted the permanent loss of his law license.

Giuliani had previously been disbarred in New York earlier this year for similar reasons. This latest decision marks a significant setback for the disgraced Republican, who has been facing a multitude of legal and professional troubles in recent months.

In addition to disbarment, Giuliani is facing various other legal challenges, including:

* **Defamation Lawsuit:** Dominion Voting Systems has sued Giuliani for spreading false claims about the company’s voting machines.
* **Georgia and Arizona Indictments:** Giuliani is facing charges in both states related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
* **Civil and Financial Troubles:** Giuliani is facing allegations of defamation from Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman, election workers who were falsely accused of manipulating ballots.
* **Cancelled Radio Show:** Giuliani’s radio show was recently canceled, adding to his growing list of setbacks.

Despite mounting legal and professional challenges, Giuliani has maintained his innocence, denying any wrongdoing. However, the recent disbarment in D.C. further underscores the severity of his legal troubles and the extent to which his reputation has been tarnished.
