Former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani recovering from pneumonia, spokesperson says

Giuliani remains in critical but stable condition after pneumonia complicated by a 9/11-linked lung disease required mechanical ventilation, his spokesman said.

  • Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is recovering from pneumonia after being placed on a ventilator, spokesperson Ted Goodman confirmed Monday, adding that the 81-year-old is now breathing on his own.
  • Restrictive airway disease, developed from toxic dust exposure during the 2001 World Trade Center attacks, exacerbated Giuliani's condition and complicated his recovery from the viral lung infection, Goodman stated.
  • Before his hospitalization, Giuliani told viewers he was 'a little under the weather' on Friday during his nightly show, 'America's Mayor Live,' which he hosted from Palm Beach, Florida.
  • President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that Giuliani is a 'True Warrior,' while repeating false claims that Democrats 'cheated on the Elections' and treated the former mayor 'so badly.'
  • Once celebrated as 'America's Mayor,' Giuliani later served as Trump's lawyer, spearheading efforts to challenge 2020 election results before his disbarment and a $108 million defamation judgment to Georgia election workers.
