Trump to grant former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani highest civilian honour

Rudy Giuliani, a former mayor of New York City and close ally who helped to change Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election, will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, according to Donald Trump, president of the United States.

Giuliani is referred to as a “great patriot” by Trump in a post on his social media site Truth Social on Monday, promising to give him the country’s highest civilian award.

The PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM, our nation’s highest civilian award, will be presented to Rudy Giuliani, the greatest mayor in New York City’s history, and an equally outstanding American Patriot, according to Trump, president of the United States of America.

Giuliani gained popularity in US politics after leading New York City during the attacks and their aftermath. He later joined Trump’s legal team and helped spread Trump’s false accusations of significant fraud, despite his loss in the 2020 election.

A pair of Georgia election workers who claimed they received death threats after being falsely accused of helping to rig the voting process won a $ 48 million defamation judgment against him for those actions.

Following a car crash in New Hampshire on Saturday, Giuliani, 81, was taken to the hospital.

His security advisor, Michael Ragusa, who said on Monday that he would be released “soon,” claimed that he had a fractured thoracic vertebra, multiple lacerations, contusions, and injuries to his left arm and leg.
