NEW JERSEY — Congressman Bill Pascrell Jr. has seen enough of Rudolph Giuliani and the rest of President Donald Trump's legal team, so much so that he's seeking to have them disbarred.
"The pattern of behavior by these individuals to effectuate Mr. Trump’s sinister arson is a danger not just to our legal system but is also unprecedented in our national life," he wrote in letters to the bar authorities of Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, New York and Pennsylvania, seeking to have Giuliani and 22 other Trump attorneys disbarred.
A former New York mayor and current leader of Trump's legal team, Giuliani has — along with the rest of that team — been under fire for their post-election conduct. It includes odd news conferences, questionable legal arguments and a viral moment or two that will be — and already has been — the template of many an internet laugh.
The legal team has even drawn ire from allies such as former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. "The conduct of the president's legal team has been a national embarrassment," Christie said during a recent television appearance. Pascrell is no ally to the president. In an action first announced on Twitter, Pascrell said he submitted the letters after the legal team filed "frivolous lawsuits" and tried "to help Trump steal the election and dismantle democracy."

🚨 I’ve just filed legal complaints with the AZ, MI, NV, NY, and PA bars against Rudy Giuliani and 22 other lawyers seeking their disbarments for filing frivolous lawsuits and trying to help Trump steal the election and dismantle democracy.

Here is a copy of my complaint to the New York State judicial conduct body calling for Rudy Giuliani’s law license to be stripped. Similar letters were sent to four other states against Trump lawyers.
