NEW YORK (AP) — Rudolph Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, federal prosecutor and legal adviser 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’s spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to an email and a phone call seeking comment Tuesday.
Giuliani has already had his New York law license suspended for false statements he made after the election.
He 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.

Good catch! Came back to edit after the article was updated, and posted the whole thing by mistake.
Good news, but just about a fart in the wind at this point.
Oh, NO! Poor Rutabaga. How will he fart in court now?
Forgive the FB link, that was the shortest that turned up on a search.
lol
Let me guess…
“Oh, I HAVE the evidence! You’ll see!”
Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Eat shit, Rudy.
I take no shame in the schadenfreude I experienced in hearing this
What kind of idiot would have hired him in the first place?
The biggest idiots. Tremendous idiots. Nobody’s ever seen such idiots before, people always tell me. Everyone’s always saying only idiots hire him, everyone knows that.
Only the president can do that Rudy.
Can I just say,
FUCKING FINALLY!
Like I can see the wheels of justice turning slowly…
…but why can’t justice observe its own ethics a little bit faster than that?
They did. The license was suspended in 2021. The actual finalnsteps of the proces allows everyone to be heard.
Rudy: Eh boss, could I get paid now?
Trump: You are not even a lawyer anymore, fuck off.
The order states that Giuliani must “desist and refrain from practicing law in any form,” including “giving to another an opinion as to the law or its application or any advice”
Wow. Impressive. There goes the Fox News gigs.
Sadly it’s likely to continue under the banner of “Entertainment”.
