Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been hospitalised and is in “critical but stable condition”, his spokesperson said on Sunday (local time).<\/p>\n

The spokesperson, Ted Goodman, did not immediately provide more details about Giuliani’s condition or how long he has been hospitalised.<\/p>\n

“Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he’s fighting with that same strength now,” Goodman said in a statement. “We do ask that you join us in prayer for America’s Mayor Rudy Giuliani.”<\/p>\n

Giuliani, 81, garnered acclaim for his response to the 11 September, 2001 al Qaeda attack on New York City, earning the nickname “America’s Mayor”.<\/p>\n

Giuliani worked as an attorney for President Donald Trump in his failed efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, an effort that led to criminal charges against Giuliani<\/a> in two US states and a defamation lawsuit from election workers. Giuliani has denied wrongdoing in the criminal cases.<\/p>\n

He was previously hospitalised last year following a car crash in New Hampshire<\/a>.<\/p>\n
