Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was disbarred in Washington on Thursday, months after he lost his law license in New York for pursuing false claims that then-President Donald Trump made about his 2020 presidential election loss.

The brief ruling from Washington D.C.'s appeals court said Giuliani did not respond to an order to explain why he should not be disbarred in Washington after he was in New York last summer.

Ted Goodman, a spokesperson for Giuliani, called the decision “an absolute travesty and a total miscarriage of justice.” Giuliani has argued that he believed the claims he was making on behalf of the Trump campaign were true.

    Giuliani has argued that he believed the claims

    I don’t think it helps to plead insanity, and very possibly Giuliani is insane, for sure his conduct and claims are extremely weird.

      100% Whether he’s insane, evil, that fucking stupid, or all of those - he has no business being a lawyer anymore.
