Former President Donald Trump has expressed his displeasure with Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds for her refusal to endorse a candidate in the upcoming 2024 Republican primary race, despite previously endorsing her in her own election and holding rallies in her support.

A three-lawyer panel from the Washington, D.C. Bar Association has recommended that former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani be disbarred for his handling of litigation challenging the 2020 election on behalf of then-President Donald Trump.

The recommendation now goes to the D.C. Court of Appeals, which will make the final decision on whether Giuliani will be disbarred.
