A District of Columbia disciplinary panel said former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani violated ethics rules when he filed a lawsuit that challenged the 2020 election results.
The committee of the D.C. Board on Professional Responsibility will recommend a specific penalty later for Giuliani, who faces accusations that he breached ethics rules against bringing frivolous lawsuits and harming the administration of justice. The panel could recommend disbarring him, suspending his D.C. law license, or formally censuring him.
