President Donald Trump awarded Rudolph Giuliani the Presidential Medal of Freedom shortly after Giuliani suffered injuries in a New Hampshire car crash. Giuliani sustained a fractured vertebra and other injuries while riding in a rented Ford Bronco driven by his spokesperson Ted Goodman; the vehicle was struck from behind by a Honda HR-V driven by a 19-year-old woman. Giuliani was later disbarred in New York and Washington after repeated false statements about the 2020 election and faces criminal charges in Georgia and Arizona. Former election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea "Shaye" Moss won a $148 million defamation judgment against him.
President Donald Trump said Monday he's awarding former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani the Presidential Medal of Freedom, announcing the honor two days after his political ally was badly injured in a traffic accident. Trump in a statement on social media called Giuliani "the greatest Mayor in the history of New York City, and an equally great American Patriot." Giuliani is recovering from a fractured vertebra and other injuries following a car crash in New Hampshire in which he was a passenger, a spokesperson said.
Giuliani was disbarred as an attorney in New York and Washington after he was found to have repeatedly made false statements about Trump's 2020 election loss. He was criminally charged in Georgia and Arizona over his role in the effort to overturn the 2020 election but denied the allegations. Former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea "Shaye" Moss won a $148 million defamation judgment against Giuliani for his false ballot fraud claims against them related to the 2020 election.
