Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani has been suspended from practicing law in New York because of efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, according to a New York appellate court.

On Thursday, the court ruled that that “there is uncontroverted evidence” that he “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.”

The court found that Giuliani’s actions threatened “the public interest and warrants interim suspension from the practice of law.”

The former lawyer to Trump can fight the suspension. However, he now faces disciplinary proceedings, according to the New York Times.

John Leventhal and Barry Kamins, Giuliani’s lawyers, blasted the decision and said that the disciplinary panel made a decision before holding a hearing.

“This is unprecedented as we believe that our client does not pose a present danger to the public interest,” they said. “We believe that once the issues are fully explored at a hearing, Mr. Giuliani will be reinstated as a valued member of the legal profession that he has served so well in his many capacities for so many years.”

Once considered “America’s mayor” because of his leadership following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Giuliani has seemingly had a fall from grace.

In April, F.B.I. agents seized his cellphones and computer as part of a criminal investigation into his dealings in Ukraine. He was accused of trying to hurt President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign before the election.
