Rudy Giuliani is not allowed to work as a lawyer in New York state for the time being. Former counsel to former President Donald Trump has been suspended for his lies about the 2020 election.
A court says Giuliani endangered the public with “false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the general public”. These were done to back up his client’s unproven allegations.
Among other things, Giuliani helped Trump file multiple lawsuits in which the party of new president Joe Biden was accused of being a fraud.
The suspension of the former mayor of New York takes effect immediately. This applies in any case until all complaints against him have been dealt with.
After that, more permanent sanctions can be imposed. According to Giuliani, the investigation violates his right to freedom of expression.
