NEW YORK (AP) — It's a little late for John Leventhal to be considered a hot young thing in music. The thought of doing a solo record sort of creeped into my consciousness and, when the pandemic hit, I really couldn't avoid it. AP: How do you think a first John Leventhal album would have sounded if you made it 50 years ago? I don't think I would have made a good record 40 years ago because it wouldn't have been tempered by what I've learned. It felt more like creating a product, like it was someone in the record industry's “good idea.” And it is a good idea.

The counsel, Hamilton Fox, alleges Giuliani had frivolous reasons for claiming election fraud in his suit before a federal district court in Pennsylvania. But those rules require that a complaint alleging fraud must state the fraud with “particularity,” i.e., provide specific facts. Given all this, Fox makes a compelling case that Giuliani drew up an argument and submitted papers to a federal district court that were almost certainly frivolous. Moreover, the lawyer ordinarily files the complaint based on what the lawyer knows at the time of filing. But in most cases, the appropriate response to a poorly supported fraud filing is the one that’s always before the court: to dismiss the case.
A panel of the Washington, D.C., Bar on Thursday made a tentative, non-binding determination that former President Donald Trump’s ex-lawyer Rudy Giuliani likely violated at least one professional conduct rule during his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Pennsylvania. The panel declined to specify what charge Giuliani likely had violated. It will release a final decision later after hearing recommendations related to what sanction Giuliani should receive, assuming the preliminary finding stands. A New York appellate court suspended Giuliani’s law license last year, saying he made “demonstrably false and misleading” statements about the 2020 election while serving as Trump’s lawyer. Giuliani’s D.C. law license was temporarily suspended after the New York decision.
Former President Donald Trump’s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani on Monday defended his work on a failed election fraud lawsuit, as a Washington, D.C., disciplinary panel heard charges that he violated attorney ethics rules in the case. A D.C. court will make the final decision on any discipline. He described how he began leading the Trump campaign’s legal efforts to challenge the 2020 election results, including his work on the Pennsylvania lawsuit. Giuliani’s New York law license was suspended in June 2021 after a state appeals court found that he made “demonstrably false and misleading” statements that widespread voter fraud undermined the election. His D.C. law license was temporarily suspended after the New York decision.
Rudy Giuliani repeatedly lost his temper on day two of his attorney-misconduct proceedings. He accused the disciplinary counsel of asking "sneaky" and unfair questions. "If we can get answers, then—"Giuliani interjected, saying Fox had made an "unfair comment," and adding, "I'm defending myself, Mr. The former mayor also repeatedly failed to answer the questions he was asked and veered into long-winded explanations about Pennsylvania's voting procedures and purported voter fraud in other states. Specifically, the 2005 report by the Carter-Baker Commission said that "absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud."
Monday marked the start of weeklong arguments before a hearing committee of the D.C. Board on Professional Responsibility, which could recommend suspending Giuliani's D.C. law license or disbarring him. A D.C. court will make the final decision on any discipline. He described how he began leading the Trump campaign's legal efforts to challenge the 2020 election results, including his work on the Pennsylvania lawsuit.

REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File PhotoDec 5 (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Donald Trump's ex-lawyer Rudy Giuliani "weaponized his law license" to press baseless claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, a Washington, D.C., disciplinary official argued on Monday. Leventhal also faulted the judge's reasons for dismissing the Pennsylvania lawsuit and noted that the court did not sanction Giuliani over his arguments. He described how he began leading the Trump campaign's legal efforts to challenge the 2020 election results, including his work on the Pennsylvania lawsuit. Any discipline, including suspension of Giuliani's law license or disbarment, must be imposed by a D.C. court. His D.C. law license was temporarily suspended after the New York decision.
