DC Bar panel recommends Rudy Giuliani be disbarred over 2020 election efforts

 

The D.C. Board on Professional Responsibility has recommended that former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani be disbarred in the District of Columbia for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

 

In a report issued Friday, the D.C. Bar committee said that Giuliani, in his capacity as personal attorney to then-President Donald Trump, committed misconduct by his "frivolous and destructive" efforts to overturn President Joe Biden's win through his failed legal challenges to the election results in Pennsylvania.

 

According to the report, the former New York City mayor violated two legal ethics rules in bringing the lawsuit, which sought to block the certification of votes in the state following Trump's defeat.

 

The committee said that one of the rules was violated when he filed the lawsuit in Pennsylvania "when he had no factual basis and no legitimate legal grounds to do so."

 

The other rule Giuliani violated was Pennsylvania's Rules of Professional Conduct, the report said.

 

"He claimed massive election fraud but had no evidence of it," the committee wrote.

 

If disbarred, Giuliani, 79, would be prohibited from practicing law in the District of Columbia.

Georgia election workers say Giuliani failed to turn over key evidence in defamation suit

 

Amid Donald Trump’s desperate bid to subvert the 2020 election, a top adviser, Boris Epshteyn, sent out an “urgent POTUS request” to a small group of allies.

 

“Need best examples of ‘election fraud’ that we’ve alleged that’s super easy to explain,” he wrote in a Dec. 7, 2020 text message. “Doesn’t necessarily have to be proven but does need to be easy to understand.”

 

In response, Rudy Giuliani — Trump’s lawyer who was leading the drive to amplify baseless allegations of election fraud — suggested he tell Trump about security camera footage of two Atlanta poll workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, moving thousands of ballots around.

 

“It will live in history as the theft of a state,” Giuliani wrote.

 

Freeman and Moss — now in the midst of a long-running defamation lawsuit against Giuliani — say in new court filings that Giuliani failed to turn over evidence of this exchange despite multiple court orders to preserve and turn over his communications. They’re asking the judge in the case, U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell, to impose “severe” sanctions on Giuliani for what they say is a repeated, prolonged and calculated effort to defy their court-backed demands for evidence.

 

They want Howell to essentially grant them a total victory in their defamation suit — a “default judgment” in their favor — as a result of Giuliani’s handling of the evidence, as well as attorneys fees. If she doesn’t, they are also asking Howell to instead order Giuliani to provide his devices to them so they can be directly searched.

Giuliani Concedes He Made False Statements About Georgia Election Workers

 

Rudolph W. Giuliani has conceded that while acting as a lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump, he made false statements by asserting that two Georgia election workers had mishandled ballots while counting votes in Atlanta during the 2020 election.

 

The concession by Mr. Giuliani came in court papers filed on Tuesday night as part of a defamation lawsuit that the two workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, had brought against him in Federal District Court in Washington in December 2021.

 

The suit accused Mr. Giuliani and others of promoting a video that purported to show Ms. Freeman and Ms. Moss — who are mother and daughter — of manipulating ballots while working at the State Farm Arena for the Fulton County Board of Elections.

 

In a two-page declaration, Mr. Giuliani acknowledged that he had in fact made the statements about Ms. Freeman and Ms. Moss that led to the filing of the suit and that the remarks “carry meaning that is defamatory per se.” He also admitted that his statements were “actionable” and “false” and that he no longer disputed the “factual elements of liability” the election workers had raised in their suit.

 

But Mr. Giuliani, insisting that he still had “legal defenses” in the case, said that he continued to believe his accusations about Ms. Freeman and Ms. Moss were “constitutionally protected” under the First Amendment. He also refused to acknowledge that his statements had caused the women any damage — a key element required to collect a judgment in a defamation case.

Rudy Giuliani may have assigned volunteer to Arizona 'audit', new emails show

 

As Donald Trump and his allies pushed false allegations of election fraud in the spring of 2021, his most high-profile lawyer appeared to take an active role in assigning work at the Arizona Senate's "audit," newly released records show.

 

Rudy Giuliani's office granted a specific shift to a volunteer at Veteran's Memorial Coliseum for the recount of 2.1 million Maricopa County ballots about two weeks before it began, according to an email obtained by The Arizona Republic.

 

The email details the volunteer's hours, days and length of service and notes it was authorized by another Trump confidant who later helped manage and finance the ballot review, which the Senate billed as a nonpartisan effort to ensure the results were accurate.

 

Phoenix Republican Linda Brickman wrote Senate "audit" leaders on April 11, 2021, and told them Giuliani's office called her and asked for her help on the recount.

 

Giuliani, the former New York mayor who became Trump's personal lawyer in 2018, was a galvanizing figure in post-election fraud claims. He promoted conspiracies and led efforts to overturn election results in multiple states, including Arizona where he met with Republican legislators on a plan to replace the state's 11 presidential electors and flip Trump's loss.

 

"I was just asked to help on the AZ Audit starting on April 22nd for 15 days," Brickman said in her email. "This is all under the authorization of Christina Bobb, who works with Rudy."

Giuliani railed against how Jewish people “want to go through that freaking Passover all the time” and how they should “get over the Passover” because it was 3,000 years ago. “OK, the Red Sea parted,” the transcript reads. “Big deal. Not the first time that happened.”

Giuliani doesn’t elaborate on other instances when the Red Sea was parted.

 

I can't believe this maroon likely has a greater net worth than me....

Rudy Giuliani Says Mike Pence is Leashed By His Wife and Only Allowed to Use Bathroom Unaccompanied

 

Rudy Giuliani suggested during a bizarre rant on Thursday that former Second Lady Karen Pence walks former Vice President Mike Pence around on a lead and only allows her husband to be unaccompanied when he goes to the bathroom.

 

Giuliani then remarked, “I always worried about him following Trump ’cause I would see him with his wife having something around his neck every night.”

 

Making a leash gesture around his own neck, the former New York City mayor and Trump attorney claimed, “She doesn’t let him go to the— no, she let’s him go to the bathroom by himself, that’s about it, but imagine that skunk doing what he did today?”

 

Giuliani made the dig at Pence just a day after the former vice president said Trump had been “surrounded by a group of crackpot lawyers that kept telling him what his itching ears wanted to hear” following the 2020 election.

Judge questions Giuliani over not forfeiting lawsuit after conceding false 2020 election statements

 

A federal judge on Friday demanded an explanation from Rudy Giuliani as to why he conceded in court that he made false and defamatory statements about two Georgia election workers after the 2020 election but hasn’t forfeited their lawsuit against him.

It’s the latest legal difficulty that Giuliani has faced related to his spreading of disinformation on former President Donald Trump’s behalf – and the latest instance of a federal judge considering severe sanctions for Giuliani over the Georgia defamation case.

A loss in the case could have significant implications for Giuliani, especially financially.

In a court filing last month, Giuliani acknowledged that he had made defamatory statements about the election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, though he stopped short of conceding that his statements caused damages to the pair. Giuliani also said in the July filing that he still wanted to argue that his statements about voter fraud in Georgia were protected by free speech.

Giuliani has until Tuesday afternoon to either forfeit the lawsuit, conceding he is liable and opening himself up to pay the ballot-counters’ damages, or give Judge Beryl Howell more explanation and appear before her for a hearing in mid-August.

Following Giuliani’s concessions, Howell ordered him to pay more of Moss and Freeman’s legal fees after previously ordering him to pay them $90,000.
