According to The New York Times, the state's appellate court issued a 31-page order arguing the punishment was the consequence of lies Giuliani (80) told as Trump's attorney that was "designed to create distrust of the elective system of our country in the minds of the citizens, and to destroy their confidence in the legitimacy of our government."

The court went on to say that Giuliani "not only deliberately violated some of the most fundamental tenets of the legal profession, but he also actively contributed to the national strife that has followed the 2020 presidential election, for which he is entirely unrepentant."

The ruling seems to be rock bottom for Giuliani, who was once considered one of the city's most recognizable and popular former mayors.

As Trump's attorney, he aggressively pushed false stolen election claims and is now facing several legal battles related to those lie and his alleged efforts to overturn election results in Georgia and Arizona.

His mounting legal woes recently forced him to declare bankruptcy, and his public image and legacy have been severely diminished.

Despite his troubles, Giuliani has continued to push his rhetoric and aggressively support Trump.

In response to news of his disbarment, Giuliani blamed "the Democrat one party corrupted court system."
