Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is in hospital in “critical but stable condition”, a spokesman for Giuliani said.
There were no further details about the 81-year-old’s condition, where he is receiving care and for how long he has been hospitalised.
spokesman Ted Goodman said in a social media post:“Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength and he’s fighting with that same level of strength as we speak.”
Giuliani earned the moniker of “America’s mayor” for leading New York City through the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre buildings in Manhattan.
Earlier in his career, he gained fame as the fearless Mafia-busting prosecutor whose aggressive use of racketeering laws brought down New York’s organised crime families.
But Giuliani experienced a stunning fall from grace in recent years, including in 2023 when a federal jury ordered him to pay US$148 million ($250m) to two election workers after defaming them by falsely tying them to alleged fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
He has since been disbarred in New York and Washington, DC.
