\n President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he will be awarding his former attorney and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the highest civilian honor.\n <\/p>\n

\n The announcement comes after Giuliani was involved<\/a> <\/a>in a car accident in New Hampshire over the weekend.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cAs President of the United States of America, I am pleased to announce that Rudy Giuliani, the greatest Mayor in the history of New York City, and an equally great American Patriot, will receive THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM, our Country\u2019s highest civilian honor. Details as to time and place to follow,\u201d Trump posted on Truth Social<\/a> <\/a>Monday afternoon.\n <\/p>\n

\n Giuliani, who served as mayor of New York City during 9\/11 was often referred to as \u201cAmerica\u2019s mayor\u201d following the terror attacks, has faced a slew of legal and financial troubles since the 2020 election, where he played a key role in several of Trump\u2019s efforts to try to overturn the results.\n <\/p>\n

\n He has continued to receive support from the president, who appointed<\/a> Giuliani to an advisory council inside the Department of Homeland Security in June.\n <\/p>\n

\n Giuliani\u2019s vehicle was struck from behind at \u201chigh speed\u201d on Saturday evening, his head of security, Michael Ragusa, said in a statement on X<\/a>. Giuliani was transported to a nearby trauma center \u201cwhere he was diagnosed with a fractured thoracic vertebrae, multiple lacerations and contusions, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Ragusa told CNN that Giuliani was \u201cin great spirits\u201d and \u201cfully alert and conscious.\u201d\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Facebook Tweet Email Link President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he will be awarding his former attorney…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":112808,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-112807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112807"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112807\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/112808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
