Rudy Giuliani disbarred in D.C. over Trump election lies

• Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been disbarred from practicing law in Washington, D.C., over his efforts to overturn Donald Trump's 2020 election loss.
• Giuliani was recently disbarred in New York.
• Giuliani was on the front lines of Trump's efforts to challenge his Electoral College loss to President Joe Biden.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is officially disbarred from practicing law in the nation's capital over his efforts to overturn Donald Trump's 2020 election loss based on false claims of widespread fraud, a court ruled Thursday.

The decision by a three-judge panel on the District of Columbia Court of Appeals was just the latest blow for the 80-year-old man once known as "America's Mayor," who was disbarred in New York less than three months ago.

"Rudolph W. Giuliani is hereby disbarred from the practice of law in the District of Columbia," the judges in D.C.'s highest court wrote in a one-page order made public Thursday morning.

A spokesman for Giuliani did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment.

Giuliani's law license had been suspended in D.C. in July 2021 as a result of his then-active disciplinary proceedings in New York.

Three years later, a New York appeals court found that Giuliani had "flagrantly misused his prominent position as the personal attorney for former President Trump and his campaign" to spread false — and at times "perjurious" — claims about the 2020 election in multiple courts.

Giuliani "deliberately violated some of the most fundamental tenets of the legal profession" and "actively contributed to the national strife that has followed the 2020 Presidential election, for which he is entirely unrepentant," that court wrote in the July 2 disbarment ruling.
