The Supreme Court on Monday disbarred Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, from practicing law before the high court.
The justices had suspended Mr. Klayman from practice in June and gave him a chance to argue his case. The new order officially disbars him.
The justices didn’t reveal Mr. Klayman’s offense, but he had previously been disciplined by the bar in Washington for “a persistent lack of candor” before judges, and later by the Florida bar. The D.C. bar suspended him for 18 months and the Florida bar ousted him for two years.

They said he had failed to heed the wishes of a client, pursued an unwanted romantic relationship with her, then lied about it to the courts.
Mr. Klayman did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the disbarment.
He gained a national reputation in the 1990s as the head of Judicial Watch, where he pursued numerous investigations and lawsuits against President Clinton and his administration.
He and Judicial Watch parted ways — sparking another Klayman lawsuit — and he later founded Freedom Watch.
Most recently, he sued far-left podcaster Hasan Piker for allegedly inciting violence against Jewish Americans.
