Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been disbarred in New York for spreading lies about the 2020 election. NBC News' legal analyst Danny Cevallos explains what the disbarment means for Giuliani's career.
A New York bankruptcy judge on Friday dismissed Rudy Giuliani's petition seeking bankruptcy protections, ruling that the onetime attorney to former President Donald Trump had failed to turn over key financial information despite being given numerous directives to do so. The order by Judge Sean Lane paves the way for two now-former election workers in Georgia who were repeatedly defamed by Giuliani after the 2020 election to begin collecting on their $146 million verdict against him.
'The lack of financial transparency is particularly troubling given concerns that Mr. Giuliani has engaged in self-dealing,' Lane wrote. Giuliani further indicated that he 'received no income other than his social security benefits even though he receives compensation' from other sources, including 'between $100,000 and $150,000 from his work hosting a podcast called America’s Mayor Live.
