Giuliani did not respond to a court order to explain why he should not face disbarment in Washington after his suspension in New York last year.
Ted Goodman, Giuliani’s spokesperson, described the decision as “a travesty and a miscarriage of justice.” Giuliani maintains that he believed the claims he made on behalf of the Trump campaign were true.
Once hailed as “America’s Mayor,” Giuliani’s reputation has suffered severely following his advocacy for baseless election fraud claims. He now faces both criminal charges and severe financial troubles.
Last year, a jury awarded $148 million in damages to Wandrea “Shaye” Moss and Ruby Freeman, two former Georgia election workers, after they sued Giuliani for defamation over false statements he made about their involvement in the election.
In addition to these legal challenges, Giuliani recently filed for bankruptcy after the defamation case. Moss and Freeman have sought control over his New York apartment, Florida condominium, and personal memorabilia, including his prized New York Yankees collectibles.
Giuliani continues to plead not guilty to charges related to his involvement in spreading election fraud claims in Arizona and Georgia after the 2020 election.
