US President Donald Trump will award the presidential medal of freedom to former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, one day after Giuliani was hospitalised for injuries suffered in a serious car crash in New Hampshire.

Giuliani was a moderate Republican who won accolades for his response to the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, but turned increasingly partisan in later years and became Trump’s personal lawyer during his efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat to Joe Biden.

“I am pleased to announce that Rudy Giuliani, the greatest Mayor in the history of New York City, and an equally great American Patriot, will receive THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM, our Country’s highest civilian honor,” Trump wrote on social media.

“Details as to time and place to follow.”

20. and he is a lying sack of shit/////

Rudy Giuliani has faced several legal consequences tied to his actions following the 2020 U.S. presidential election:

Defamation Lawsuit (Georgia): Giuliani was ordered to pay $148 million to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, two Georgia election workers, for falsely claiming they manipulated ballots. He settled this defamation case in January 2025 after initially filing for bankruptcy to avoid payment.

Disbarment: He was disbarred in New York and Washington, D.C., for making false statements about the 2020 election, violating legal ethics as Trump’s attorney.

Criminal Indictments:

Georgia: Indicted for efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, including charges related to false claims of election fraud and pressuring state officials.

Arizona: Indicted for his role in attempting to subvert the state’s 2020 election results, part of a broader scheme to promote alternate electors.

These legal issues stem from his actions as Trump’s lawyer, pushing unfounded election fraud claims. No convictions have been reported as of September 1, 2025, but the indictments remain active.
