President Trump announced Monday that he plans to honor Rudy Giuliani with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, following the serious injuries Rudy suffered in a car accident this past weekend.
“As President of the United States of America, 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 posted on Truth Social.
“Details as to time and place to follow,” the president added, according to the New York Post.
Giuliani, 81, was a personal attorney for President Trump during part of his first term as president. He currently remains hospitalized as he recovers from the Saturday car accident in New Hampshire.
The former mayor is “in good spirits and recovering tremendously,” according to his head of security, Michael Ragusa.
He is expected to remain hospitalized for several days as he is recovering after suffering a fractured thoracic vertebra, as well as cuts, bruising and injuries to his left arm and lower leg, according to the New York Daily News.
