Rudy Giuliani, former New York City Mayor and lawyer to former President Donald Trump, has been permanently disbarred from practicing law in Washington, D.C. The disbarment was ordered by the D.C. Court of Appeals on Thursday following his suspension and subsequent disbarment in New York in July. This marks Giuliani's second disbarment. The court's decision is based on Giuliani's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, which included making false claims of election fraud. The disciplinary committee found his actions to be 'utterly false' and 'recklessly so.'
