Rudy Giuliani, the former personal lawyer to Donald Trump and ex-mayor of New York City, has been admitted to hospital following a significant motor vehicle collision in Maryland.
The 80-year-old political figure, a pivotal ally in Trump's attempts to challenge the 2020 election results, sustained injuries described by his aides as not life-threatening. The incident occurred on Sunday, though specific details regarding the cause of the crash remain undisclosed.
Giuliani's son, Andrew, confirmed the news to the New York Post, stating his father is receiving the necessary medical care and is expected to make a full recovery. The event has sent ripples through political circles, given Giuliani's prominent and controversial profile.
This incident adds to a tumultuous period for Giuliani, who has recently faced severe financial and legal pressures. He was ordered to pay a staggering $148 million to two Georgia election workers for defamatory statements he made following the 2020 presidential election. Furthermore, he has pleaded not guilty to charges in a separate Georgia case related to alleged efforts to subvert the election outcome.
The car crash represents another dramatic chapter for the man once hailed as 'America's Mayor' for his leadership following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. His current condition and the circumstances leading to the accident are being closely monitored by both the media and the public.
