  • From BBC breaking news:

    The New York State Bar Association is launching an inquiry into President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani.

    The inquiry will determine whether Giuliani should be removed from the membership rolls of the country's largest voluntary state bar association.

    In a statement on Monday, the NYSBA "strongly condemned" the president and those who had aided his efforts to overturn the election.

    Mere hours before the invasion of the US Capitol, Giuliani told the assembled mob of Trump supporters: “Let’s have trial by combat.”

    Citing these words and the "hundreds of complaints" it had received about Giuliani's "baseless" legal efforts to contest Joe Biden's election victory, the NYSBA said the inquiry would give him an opportunity to explain himself.

    "This decision is historic for NYSBA, and we have not made it lightly," the statement concludes. "We cannot stand idly by and allow those intent on rending the fabric of our democracy to go unchecked."
