Rudy Giuliani should lose his law license in Washington for directing former President Donald Trump’s failed legal challenge to the 2020 presidential election results in Pennsylvania, an attorney ethics review panel has recommended.
A District of Columbia Bar committee that heard evidence in the case last year concluded in a report released on Friday that Giuliani, a close ally and adviser to Trump, committed misconduct in pressing a “frivolous” contest to President Joe Biden’s win. The bar’s Disciplinary Counsel Hamilton “Phil” Fox, who pursued the complaint, had argued the former New York City mayor and US attorney “weaponized his law license” to try to undermine the US Constitution.
