An appeals court on Tuesday ruled that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is barred from practicing law in New York.

“Rudolph William Giuliani, is disbarred from the practice of law, effective immediately, and until the further order of this Court, and his name stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law in the State of New York,” the First Department appeals court wrote in a decision released on Tuesday.
The judges claimed Giuliani “flagrantly misused” his position as an attorney for former President Donald Trump and his campaign to make “intentionally” false statements to courts, lawmakers and the public.
Giuliani was admitted into New York’s bar in 1969 but has been stripped of his career after two criminal indictments against him for allegedly interfering in the 2020 presidential election.
Meanwhile, the embattled former mayor of the Big Apple has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Giuliani has already had his law license suspended in Washington, D.C.
