D.C. Professional Responsibility Board Recommends Disbarment for Rudy Giuliani


The professional responsibility board governing bar discipline in Washington, D.C. has recommended the disbarment of former New York City mayor and Trump advisor Rudy Giuliani. This recommendation follows findings that his conduct in the aftermath of the 2020 election violated professional standards, as detailed in a report by the D.C. Court of Appeals Board on Professional Responsibility. The board emphasized that Giuliani’s actions, which relied “only on speculation, mistrust, and suspicion, … not facts,” aimed to deprive hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians of their right to vote, thereby undermining the integrity of the electoral process and destabilizing democracy.
