This is nitpicky but it matters I think. The article reads, "In June 2021 Giuliani had his license to practice law suspended in the state of New York, pending an investigation related to the disputed 2020 presidential election"

This sentence lacks clarity at best and is misleading (unintentionally no doubt) at worst. First his license was suspended for his role in the attempt to discredit the 2020 presidential election in Trump's favor. Furthermore, the 2020 election is not in dispute by any credible people or evidence. Therefore Wikipedia describing the 2020 election as a "disputed presidential election" gives credence to the false claims made about that election. You might consider the following"

"In June 2021 Giuliani had his license to practice law suspended in the state of New York, pending an investigation related to his effort to dispute the results of the 2020 presidential election"

No doubt one of you could do much better but I hope you see what I'm getting at. And I realize further down in the article this is dealt with in good detail, but this sentence could vastly be improved for clarity. 2603:8081:8700:687D:FD9A:13F8:B884:72B6 (talk) 20:00, 16 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

That's a reasonable idea -- I've adopted it. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 20:08, 16 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Remember there is a lot of evidence of irregularities and illegalities in the 2020 election. The corrupt media would often use the word ‘debunked’ when they don;t like the evidence.

You should watch 2000 mules. Giuliani’s license was suspended by a radical left NY bar for political persecution Vaccuumlivingroom (talk) 18:40, 13 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

2000 Mules has been debunked thoroughly. The New York Bar is "radical left"? Lol. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:49, 13 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This is because Giuliani on September 11, 2001, had a FEMA headquarters based in World Trade Center 7. Despite this, however, Giuliani and his peers somehow managed not to show up at Building 7 that day, hours before the building collapsed. That didn't stop other employees of the organization to go there, and unfortunately die within the collapse of Building 7. Saysaywhatno02 (talk) 04:40, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Since I cannot add to this page anymore: I suggest making it clearer that Freeman and Moss have filed the new suit because of further defamation. As noted in coverage including the linked Guardian article about the verdict, Giuliani spoke with press outside on the courthouse after the ruling, insisting that what he said about Moss and Freeman was true. As currently written, it could be inferred that the new suit refers to his older remarks. Ejgertz (talk) 01:14, 20 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I think the $148 million defamation verdict against him, and his filing for bankruptcy six days later, should be in the opening section. Those are very significant life events. Krakatoa (talk) 10:24, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Rudy appeared (and had speaking lines) in the film Anger Management with Adam Sandler, where he played himself. 2601:8C0:380:35C0:6197:EE2B:5733:65A4 (talk) 18:30, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

And who can forget his scene in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm -- a classic (where he also played himself)... Nomoskedasticity (talk) 20:09, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
