https://6abc.com/post/rudy-giuliani-disbarred-false-misleading-statements-2020-election/15020191/Rudy Giuliani's association with former President Donald Trump has cost him his law license.
Giuliani was disbarred on Tuesday in a decision handed down by the Appellate Division First Department in New York.
The ruling is a consequence of Giuliani's "demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers, and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump campaign in connection with Trump's failed effort at reelection in 2020."
Giuliani claimed he believed the statements at the time he was making them but the court was not persuaded.
The decision added, "Contrary to respondent's allegations, there is nothing on the record before us that would permit the conclusion that respondent lacked knowledge of the falsehood of the numerous statements that he made, and that he had a good faith basis to believe them to be true."
As a lawyer, the decision said, Giuliani should have known better.
