Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor and U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, has been disbarred in New York. The disbarment follows a ruling by the Appellate Division First Department on Tuesday, which found that Giuliani repeatedly made false statements about the 2020 presidential election, claiming that it was stolen from his client, former President Donald Trump. The court cited 'uncontroverted evidence' of Giuliani's misconduct, including perjurious statements made to federal courts. This decision comes amid Giuliani's ongoing legal troubles, including his recent request to convert his Chapter 11 bankruptcy to a Chapter 7 liquidation to address his financial liabilities.
