Rudy Giuliani Disbarred in New York over Efforts to Overturn 2020 Election
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Former President Trump's ex-lawyer Rudy Giuliani has been stripped of
his license to practice law in New York over his lies and false
statements about the 2020 election and his efforts to overturn Joe
Biden's victory. On Tuesday, a panel of New York appellate court judges
ruled that Giuliani "not only deliberately violated some of the most
fundamental tenets of the legal profession, but he also actively
contributed to the national strife that has followed the 2020
Presidential election, for which he is entirely unrepentant." Giuliani
already faces criminal charges for election interference in Arizona and
Georgia; his law license remains under review in Washington, D.C.
