Rudy Giuliani, the former Mayor of New York City, has been hospitalized and is currently in critical but stable condition. His spokesperson confirmed the news on May 3rd but did not disclose the specific illness of the 81-year-old former politician. Giuliani, a well-known prosecutor before becoming mayor in 1993, was recognized for his efforts in combating organized crime and Wall Street fraud. He earned the nickname "America's Mayor" for his leadership in guiding New York City through the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. However, his public image has declined in recent years. He served as President Trump's personal lawyer and actively supported claims of fraud in the 2020 election, though these claims were not substantiated in court. He was also ordered to pay $148 million in damages for falsely accusing two election workers in Georgia of fraud, later reaching a settlement. His law licenses in New York and Washington D.C. have been suspended.
