    I was surprised, as I’d thought he was already disbarred. But you’re right. This paragraph helped me understand before seeing your comment:

    In 2021, a state court in New York suspended his right to practice law in that state, citing his actions in the wake of the 2020 presidential election. No final disbarment order against Giuliani has been entered in New York, but bar discipline proceedings in that state are notoriously opaque.

      yeah, it’s his NYS suspension and disbarment proceedings which likely triggered it in DC… although his actions were bad enough to have warranted disbarment proceedings there anyway.
