Ted Goodman, speaking on behalf of the 81-year-old, said Giuliani was receiving medical care but did not disclose the cause of his hospitalization or identify the facility where he was being treated.
“Mayor Rudy Giuliani is currently in the hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition,” Goodman wrote on social media on Sunday. He added that the former mayor “is a fighter” who has confronted challenges throughout his life and was continuing to show the same determination while in hospital.
Goodman also asked supporters to pray for Giuliani’s recovery.
Limited Details on Hospitalisation
No further details have been released about what prompted Giuliani’s admission to hospital, and his spokesperson has not said when he was first admitted.
Giuliani, once widely known for his leadership of New York City during the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, has remained a prominent political figure in recent years due to his close association with Trump.
Trump Confirms Hospitalisation
President Trump confirmed Giuliani’s hospitalization in a message posted on his social media platform, Truth Social.
In the post, Trump described Giuliani as a “true warrior” and praised him as the best mayor in the history of New York City. He also used the message to criticise Democrats, accusing them of treating Giuliani unfairly.
Trump wrote that it was “sad” to see Giuliani in hospital and repeated claims that political opponents had targeted him.
Legal Battles After the 2020 Election
Giuliani played a prominent role in efforts by Trump and his allies to challenge the outcome of the 2020 United States presidential election. Acting as Trump’s personal attorney, he helped lead legal attempts to overturn the results in several states.
Many of those lawsuits were dismissed by courts.
Following his involvement in those efforts, Giuliani was disbarred in both New York and Washington, D.C., with disciplinary authorities concluding that he had made false statements about the election.
He has also faced criminal charges in the states of Georgia and Arizona related to attempts to overturn the election results. Giuliani has denied wrongdoing in those cases.
In addition, he was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the federal election interference case brought against Trump by special counsel Jack Smith.
Despite the legal challenges, Giuliani has remained an outspoken supporter of Trump and continues to be a visible figure in US political debates.
For now, attention has turned to his health, with supporters awaiting further updates on his condition.
