President Donald Trump announced he will award Rudy Giuliani the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He made the announcement on Monday via Truth Social.
“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 said.

The former New York Mayor is currently hospitalized following a car accident on Saturday in New Hampshire. Rudy Giuliani suffered a fractured vertebra and other non-life-threatening injuries. He was a passenger in a vehicle driven by an adviser when it was struck from behind by a 19-year-old driver, state police said.

Giuliani was taken to a local hospital, where his staff reported he was expected to make a full recovery.
State police said the collision occurred shortly before 10 p.m. on Interstate 93 northbound in Manchester, near where troopers were handling a separate domestic violence call. Theodore Goodman drove Giuliani in a Ford Bronco when 19-year-old Lauren Kemp of Concord struck them from behind in a Honda HR-V. The impact sent both vehicles into the median and caused significant damage.
Giuliani’s background
Giuliani served as Mayor of New York City from 1994 to 2001. He drew praise following the 9/11 attacks for his handling of the situation. In 2007, he sought the Republican Party’s presidential nomination for the 2008 election. He withdrew in January 2008.
Giuliani went on to work for Trump’s legal counsel to challenge the 2020 presidential election. Back in February 2025, he satisfied a defamation judgment with two Georgia election workers regarding statements following the 2020 presidential elections.
