 The appeals court in Manhattan handed down its decision saying Giuliani repeatedly made false statements about former President Trump's 2020 election loss. Giuliani, a former Trump legal advisor and former mayor of New York City, was disbarred effective immediately. His New York law license had already been suspended. In its decision, the court said that Giuliani was disbarred from the practice of law and his name stricken from the role of attorneys and counselors at law in the state of New York.
