# Summary
Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor and attorney for Donald Trump, entered critical condition and was hospitalized. Trump responded on Truth Social with a post praising Giuliani as a "True Warrior" and "the Best Mayor in the History of New York City, BY FAR."
Giuliani's hospitalization marks a significant development for the 80-year-old legal figure who served as NYC mayor from 1994 to 2001 and later represented Trump during his first impeachment and in legal matters surrounding the 2020 election. The specific cause of his critical condition was not disclosed in available reports.
Trump's immediate public statement underscores the former president's continued personal relationship with Giuliani despite the legal challenges both men have faced in recent years. Giuliani has confronted multiple legal battles, including a defamation lawsuit and disbarment proceedings related to his post-election work.
The hospitalization raises questions about Giuliani's ability to handle pending legal matters and his role in Trump's ongoing legal defense. Further details about his condition and prognosis remain unclear.
