Andrew Giuliani defends father on Twitter

Andrew Giuliani has taken to Twitter to defend his father after an appeals court suspended Rudy Giuliani from practicing law in New York because he made false statements while trying to get courts to overturn Donald Trump's loss in the presidential race.

"This is just unbelievable to see just how politicized all of this has become," the younger Giuliani said.  "I am infuriated by all this and any American that believes that an independent justice system, this is going after one of President Trump's closest allies."

Andrew Giuliani, a Republican candidate for governor in New York says it's "infuriating" that the five judges on the appellate court that issued the suspension are all Democrats.

An attorney disciplinary committee said in its motion to suspend Giuliani's license that there was "uncontroverted evidence" that Giuliani had made false statements to the courts, the public and lawmakers as he pushed theories that the election was stolen through fraud.

The ruling, signed Thursday, will prevent Giuliani from representing clients as a lawyer. A message seeking comment about the ruling was sent Thursday to Giuliani and his lawyer.
