Rudy Giuliani is recovering from pneumonia and still 'critical but stable,' spokesman says

Key Points:

• Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor and ex-lawyer for President Donald Trump, was hospitalized with pneumonia and remains in critical but stable condition, according to his spokesperson Ted Goodman.
• Giuliani has a pre-existing restrictive airway disease linked to the Sept. 11 attacks, which complicated his pneumonia, requiring mechanical ventilation; he is now breathing on his own with family and medical support by his side.
• Trump confirmed Giuliani's hospitalization, criticizing Democrats and praising Giuliani as a "True Warrior" and the best NYC mayor in history, while accusing political opponents of wrongdoing related to the 2020 election.
• Giuliani recently hosted a show despite feeling unwell and has faced legal troubles related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, including disbarment and state charges, though he denies wrongdoing; he was also pardoned by Trump in November.
• Previously, Giuliani was hospitalized last year due to injuries from a car crash in New Hampshire where his vehicle was hit from behind at high speed.
