A prominent New York lawyers group opened an investigation to explore removing Rudy Giuliani from its membership over his role in the Washington protest that turned into a violent raid on the U.S. Capitol.
The New York State Bar Association announced the probe on Monday. The group does not control admission to practice law in the state, which falls under the authority of the courts. But the NYSBA, along with the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, are large groups that speak for the state’s legal community.
