D.C. Bar files ethics charges against Rudy Giuliani over 2020 election claims

The District of Columbia Bar is formally moving to suspend Rudolph Giuliani’s law license, filing charges in court Friday alleging former President Donald Trump’s attorney violated ethical standards by bringing legal challenges to the 2020 election.

The D.C. Office of Disciplinary Counsel claims Mr. Giuliani ran afoul of professional standards by filing a legal challenge to the results in Pennsylvania.

His law license had already been suspended temporarily in D.C.last year after New York first suspended his license in his home state, reasoning he made “demonstrably false and misleading statements” about the 2020 election.
