He's being disbarred for lying.

A lawyer specifically can't do that.

Do they do anything else?

Apparently you get disbarred for it.

If they do it in front of a Judge it would often be Perjury, which also gets you up to five years in prison.

You wouldn't think that that's the case when you hear people like Rudy speak, but a they are surprisingly straightforward about this.
