Rudy Giuliani is a knight. Yes, really.
He could lose his knighthood following his push to overturn the 2020 election, insiders told The Daily Beast.
A prison sentence or losing his law license could also qualify him for knighthood forfeiture.

In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks in 2001, Rudy Giuliani was widely hailed as "America's Mayor" for his response coordinating with federal agencies and providing comforting rhetoric.
