Rudy Giuliani could be expelled from the New York Bar Association

by

Rudy Giuliani faces possible expulsion from New York State Bar Association following incendiary statements he addressed to supporters of the president Donald Trump last week before they stormed the U.S. Capitol.

The organization reported Monday that it has opened an investigation into whether Giuliani should remain one of its members. Its statutes state that “no person advocating the overthrow of the United States government” will remain a member.

The expulsion of the Bar Association, a voluntary membership organization dating from 1876, is not the same as losing the right to practice law. This can only be done by the courts.

A message was sent to Giuliani’s spokesman seeking comment. The Bar Association added that Giuliani will be provided with due process and will have the opportunity to explain and defend his statements and acts.
