前纽约市长鲁迪·朱利安尼上诉法院周四裁定,他被永久取消在哥伦比亚特区的律师资格。
根据裁决,朱利安尼的律师资格被取消是由于他的法律执照被剥夺在纽约州,他帮助前总统唐纳德·特朗普试图推翻2020年大选。
朱利安尼的律师执照在华盛顿已经被吊销了。
上诉法院小组指出,朱利安尼拒绝回应时,通知早在7月,他可能会面临相应的纪律。
在7月发布的一份报告中,华盛顿职业责任委员会建议取消朱利安尼的律师资格他说,作为时任总统特朗普的私人律师,他通过对宾夕法尼亚州选举结果的失败法律挑战,以“轻浮和破坏性”的方式推翻总统乔·拜登的胜利,犯下了不当行为。
根据这份报告,这位前纽约市长在提起诉讼时违反了两条法律道德准则,该诉讼旨在阻止认证特朗普败选后该州的投票率。
该委员会表示,当他在宾夕法尼亚州提起诉讼时,违反了其中一条规则,“当他没有事实依据和合法的法律依据这样做时。”
报道称,朱利安尼违反的另一条规则是宾夕法尼亚州的职业行为规则。
“他声称大规模选举舞弊,但没有证据,”该委员会写道。
Giuliani permanently disbarred from practicing law in District of Columbia
Former New York City MayorRudy Giulianihas been permanently disbarred from practicing law in the District of Columbia, a court of appeals panel ruled Thursday.
According to the ruling, Giuliani's disbarment is a resort of reciprocal discipline resulting from hislaw license being strippedin New York state over his efforts aiding former President Donald Trump's bid to overturn the 2020 election.
Giuliani's law license had already been suspended in D.C.
The appeals court panel noted that Giuliani declined to respond when given notice back in July that he could face reciprocal discipline.
In a report issued in July, the D.C. Board on Professional Responsibilityrecommended Giuliani be disbarred, saying that in his capacity as personal attorney to then-President Trump, he committed misconduct by his "frivolous and destructive" efforts to overturn President Joe Biden's win through his failed legal challenges to the election results in Pennsylvania.
According to the report, the former New York City mayor violated two legal ethics rules in bringing the lawsuit, which sought toblock the certificationof votes in the state following Trump's defeat.
The committee said that one of the rules was violated when he filed the lawsuit in Pennsylvania "when he had no factual basis and no legitimate legal grounds to do so."
The other rule Giuliani violated was Pennsylvania's Rules of Professional Conduct, the report said.
"He claimed massive election fraud but had no evidence of it," the committee wrote.
