Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been disbarred over his statements contesting the 2020 election, in which then-presidential hopeful Joe Biden defeated incumbent President Donald Trump.

A New York appeals court says that the charges were filed after Mr. Giuliani “communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to the courts, lawmakers, and the public at large” in his role as the former president’s attorney.
