The move marks the end of his legal career and underscores his baseless accusations of voter fraud while serving as former President Donald Trump’s personal attorney.
In a statement, the court didn’t mince words in claiming that Giuliani had actively contributed to the national discord that followed the 2020 presidential election.
The ex-lawyer had his license to practice revoked in 2021, demonstrating the seriousness and scale of his actions.
Giuliani and his spokesman Ted Goodman were quick to react to the disbarment. Goodman called the court’s decision “corrupt” and promised to appeal.
