Supreme Court of the State of New York, Appellate Division, First Judicial Department in a Disciplinary proceedings instituted by the Attorney Grievance Committee for the First Judicial Department has suspended Rudolph Giuliani, Trump’s Lawyer from practice.
The Attorney Grievance Committee moves for an order, pursuant to Judiciary Law S90(2) and the Rules for Attorney Disciplinary Matters (22 NYCRR) S1240.9(a)(5), immediately suspending Giuliani from the practice of law based upon claimed violations of rules 3.3(a); 4.1; 8.4(c) and 8.4(h) of the Rules of Professional Conduct (22 NYCRR 1200.0) (Rules of Conduct or RPC).
“For the reasons that follow, we conclude that there is uncontroverted evidence that respondent communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump campaign in connection with Trump’s failed effort at reelection in 2020. These false statements were made to improperly bolster respondent’s narrative that due to widespread voter fraud, victory in the 2020 United States presidential election was stolen from his client. We conclude that respondent’s conduct immediately threatens the public interest and warrants interim suspension from the practice of law, pending further proceedings before the Attorney Grievance Committee (sometimes AGC or Committee).”
