NY State Bar Association takes steps to revoke Rudy Giuliani's membership

The New York State Bar Association (NYSBA) has begun an inquiry to determine whether President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani should be removed from membership in the organization. 

In a news release published Monday, the NYSBA said that after receiving hundreds of complaints about Giuliani's conduct and after considering statements he made at the Jan. 6 rally in Washington D.C. that precipitated violence at the Capitol building, the organization's president Scott M. Karson "has launched an inquiry pursuant to the Association's bylaws to determine whether Mr. Giuliani should be removed from the membership rolls of the Association." 

"The New York State Bar Association (NYSBA) strongly condemned the violent uprising that occurred at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, orchestrated by individuals bent on subverting the will of the voters by disrupting the certification of the 2020 presidential election results," the Association said.
