Former lawyer to Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, is facing a recommendation for disbarment by the professional responsibility board in Washington, DC. The recommendation comes as a result of Giuliani's involvement in a baseless 2020 election fraud lawsuit. Giuliani's law license had already been suspended due to his support of Trump's false claims about the election results.
The attorney discipline board has recommended disbarment as the only sanction to protect the public, the courts, and the integrity of the legal profession. The board found that Giuliani's lawsuit in Pennsylvania, seeking to invalidate over 1 million votes, was based on speculation and lacked factual support.
