More than 3,100 lawyers call for Rudy Giuliani's law license to be revoked

NEW YORK — More than 3,100 lawyers, including a former attorney general, 14 former federal judges and three dozen former prosecutors at the office Rudy Giuliani once led, have joined a call for his law license to be revoked.



The updated list of legal big shots, released Monday by Lawyers Defending American Democracy, came as Giuliani doubled down on bogus claims that the 2020 election was stolen for President Joe Biden.

Lawyers licensed in 48 of the 50 states have signed onto a petition asking the New York Bar Grievance Committee to investigate Giuliani’s fitness to work as an attorney. Among the signers are former Attorney General Stuart Gerson, former Bronx District Attorney Paul Gentile, former city Corporation Counsel Fritz Schwarz and Ronald Goldstock, the former head of the New York State Organized Crime Task Force.

More than 4,000 nonlawyers also signed the petition, many describing themselves as “concerned citizens” from states Giuliani sought to disenfranchise.

“The signers are lawyers and ordinary citizens across the country who see that Giuliani’s conduct is both way out of bounds and destroying our democracy,” said Christine Chung, a former prosecutor in the Southern District of New York.

The company "Just for Men" has issued a "cease and desist" order to Giuliani for "abusive application" of their product in a manner not congruent with the products stated instructions for use.
