ormer Donald Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani has suffered a fresh humiliation after being suspended from practicing law in Washington, DC, for amplifying Trump’s lies bout the election that led to the deadly January 6 attack on the US Capitol.
According to Business insider, a DC appellate court banned Giuliani from practicing law in the area until a New York panel completes a disciplinary review into the former mayor’s conduct.
Giuliani is “suspended from the practice of law in the District of Columbia pending final disposition of this proceeding, effective on the date of entry in this order,” said the filing, which was dated July 7.
Wednesday’s development came after the Attorney Grievance Committee for the First Judicial Department, which covers Manhattan, had filed a petition seeking Giuliani’s “immediate suspension” from practicing in New York in light of his comments and legal actions related to the 2020 election.
Last month, the New York Bar Association suspended Giuliani for the same abhorrent conduct.
“The New York State Bar Association (NYSBA) strongly condemned the violent uprising that occurred at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, orchestrated by individuals bent on subverting the will of the voters by disrupting the certification of the 2020 presidential election results,” the Bar wrote at the time.
