Rudy Giuliani could be expelled from the New York Bar Association

by

Rudy Giuliani faces possible expulsion from the New York State Bar after incendiary statements he made to supporters of the president Donald Trump last week before they stormed the Capitol.

The organization said Monday it has opened an investigation into whether Giuliani should remain one of its members. The statutes state that “no one who advocates overthrowing the US government” will remain a member.

Expulsion from the Bar Association, a voluntary membership organization dating back to 1876 is not the same as losing the right to exercise the law. That can only be done by the judge.

A message has been sent to Giuliani’s spokesperson asking for comment. The Bar Association added that Giuliani will be given due process and will have the opportunity to explain and defend his statements and actions.
