A three-lawyer panel from the Washington, D.C. Bar Association has recommended that former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani be disbarred for his handling of litigation challenging the 2020 election on behalf of then-President Donald Trump. The panel noted that Giuliani had "claimed massive election fraud but had no evidence," and that he and other Trump lawyers repeatedly pressed claims of election fraud that were almost uniformly rejected by federal and state courts. The recommendation now goes to the D.C. Court of Appeals, which will make the final decision on whether Giuliani will be disbarred.
