Giuliani hit with disbarment complaint, faces possible expulsion from New York lawyers association Shayna Jacobs
Replay Video UP NEXT NEW YORK The New York State Bar Association will consider expelling President Trump s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani, and a state lawmaker is seeking his disbarment after inflammatory comments during a rally preceding last week s deadly riot inside the U.S. Capitol. Hours before the pro-Trump mob breached security and stormed the building, Giuliani encouraged the president’s loyalists to fight the election results “by combat.” Five people, including a Capitol Police officer, died during the attempted insurrection. In a statement Monday, the bar association said it has received “hundreds of complaints in recent months” about the former New York mayor and his failed bid to help Trump overturn his loss to Joe Biden.

I ran up a $320,000 hospital bill (which I thankfully did not have to pay).
