The Facts
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Tuesday was disbarred from practicing law in his home state of New York.
This comes as a result of the New York Appellate Division First Department's decision that — while representing former Pres. Donald Trump and his campaign — Giuliani made multiple "false and misleading statements to courts" and the public about the 2020 presidential election.
The Spin
Anti-Trump narrative
Giuliani's decision to lie for Trump after the 2020 presidential election continues to be his downfall. Previously he had to file bankruptcy and debase himself by selling coffee to make money. He was dropped by his accountant — and couldn't find another one to take him as a client. Now he's disbarred. The once-popular mayor and presidential candidate's fall from grace seemingly has no bottom.
Pro-Trump narrative
It's no surprise the undemocratic judicial system that the Democrats control in New York has disbarred Giuliani. This case was based on falsities and tapes that were doctored to make the Trump ally look bad. This is part of the same political witch hunt the Biden administration is staging in an attempt to sidetrack Trump's presidential campaign.
