New York Suspends Rudy Giuliani Law License over Election Fraud Claims

The State of New York has suspended Rudy Giuliani's law license over his claims of fraud in the 2020 election, according to a court decision released Thursday.

Respondent was admitted to practice as an attorney and counselor at law in the State of New York on June 25, 1969, under the name Rudolph William Giuliani.

These false statements were made to improperly bolster respondent's narrative that due to widespread voter fraud, victory in the 2020 United States presidential election was stolen from his client.

The ruling stated that Giuliani's suspension is "Interim," and that his statements about election fraud were made "Knowingly." Though he has First Amendment rights, the court noted, he is also bound by rules of professional conduct.

Giulian's suspension is a twist in a storied legal career, where he served as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York before being elected mayor of New York City, and eventually representing President Trump.

He became an internationally-renowned political leader during his tenure as mayor, both for improving the quality of life in New York City, and leading it through the 9/11 terror attacks.
