WASHINGTON — The District of Columbia Bar association's disciplinary counsel called Thursday for Rudy Giuliani's disbarment after a preliminary finding that Giuliani violated at least one rule of attorney practice when, as the attorney for then-President Donald Trump, he pressed a baseless, failed legal challenge to the 2020 election results in Pennsylvania.
"This case, the seriousness of the misconduct, calls for only one sanction and that is a sanction of disbarment," Phil Fox, a lawyer for the D.C. Bar, said at a disciplinary hearing in Washington."I think it was a fundamental harm to the fabric of the country that could well be irreparable."
Giuliani's attorney, John Leventhal, said Thursday that Giuliani's service to the nation mitigated the need for the District of Columbia to disbar him. "It's like it's two different people," Fox said during the hearing."There's the person who responded the way very few people could have responded to 9/11 ... and there's the person who tried to undermine the legitimacy of a presidential election without a basis to do so."
