Rudy Giuliani Stripped of Legal License in Washington D.C.

According to the D.C. Court of Appeals, Giuliani’s disbarment stemmed from New York proceedings in July which led to him losing his license to practice law in his home state. The now-disgraced attorney did not respond when given an opportunity to object to his latest disbarment.
