A U.S. appeals court has suspended former President Donald Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, from practicing law in Washington.
The Washington Court of Appeal issued the order citing the suspension of Mr. Giuliani’s lawyer’s license in New York two weeks ago after a court concluded he had lied when he claimed that the 2020 presidential election had been won by Mr. Trump.
The New York court, citing the Jan. 6 riots in the United States Capitol caused by Mr. Trump’s supporters, said Mr. Giuliani’s desire to trumpet false allegations threatened the public interest and could undermine public confidence in the election process.
Following the June 24 ruling, Mr Giuliani said he would go to court to challenge New York’s suspension./VOA
