Ammon News - Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been ​hospitalized and is in "critical but stable condition," ‌his spokesperson said on Sunday.

The spokesperson, Ted Goodman, did not immediately provide more details about Giuliani's condition or how ​long he has been hospitalized.

"Mayor Giuliani is ​a fighter who has faced every challenge ⁠in his life with unwavering strength, and he's ​fighting with that same strength now," Goodman said in ​a statement. "We do ask that you join us in prayer for America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani."

Giuliani, 81, garnered acclaim for ​his response to the September 11, 2001, al ​Qaeda attack on New York City, earning the nickname "America's Mayor."

Giuliani ‌worked ⁠as an attorney for President Donald Trump in his failed efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, an effort that led to criminal ​charges against ​Giuliani in ⁠two U.S. states and a defamation lawsuit from election workers. Giuliani has denied ​wrongdoing in the criminal cases.

Trump, in ​a ⁠social media post, called Giuliani the "Best Mayor in the History of New York City" and said he ⁠had ​been mistreated by Democrats.

Giuliani was previously ​hospitalized last year following a car crash in New Hampshire.
