A Washington, D.C. disciplinary board has recommended that Rudy Giuliani, former lawyer and ally to Donald Trump, should be disbarred. This recommendation is based on Giuliani's involvement in a failed lawsuit challenging Trump's 2020 U.S. election loss in Pennsylvania. The DC ethics board described Giuliani's actions as misconduct 'of the utmost seriousness' and deemed the pro-Trump lawsuit 'frivolous'. The ethics panel emphasized that disbarment is 'the only sanction that will protect the public.'
