A local appeals court in Washington, D.C., suspended Rudy Giuliani s authority to practice law in the city Wednesday.
A New York appellate court suspended Giuliani s law license last month, saying he made demonstrably false and misleading statements about last year s election while serving as former President Donald Trump s attorney.
The action from the D.C. appellate court is required under the city s bar rules whenever a lawyer faces disciplinary action in another jurisdiction.
In a 33-page decision, the New York court panel wrote that there is uncontroverted evidence that [Giuliani] communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump campaign in connection with Trump s failed effort at reelection in 2020.
