Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was hospitalized with pneumonia and remains in “critical but stable condition,” his spokesman said on Monday.

DEVELOPING: Rudy Giuliani Hospitalized, President Trump Issues Statement

"Mayor Rudy Giuliani is recovering from pneumonia. On September 11th, Mayor Giuliani ran toward the towers to help those in need, which later led to a diagnosis of restrictive airway disease. This condition adds complications to any respiratory illness, and the virus quickly overwhelmed his body, requiring mechanical ventilation to maintain adequate oxygen and stabilize his condition," Ted Goodman said.

"He is now breathing on his own, with his family and primary medical provider at his side. Mayor Giuliani is the ultimate fighter—as he has demonstrated throughout his life—and he is winning this battle. His family deeply appreciates the outpouring of love and support. The mayor believes in the power of prayer, and we are feeling that strength today. He remains in critical but stable condition. Please keep the prayers coming," he continued.

Giuliani hosted his show "America's Mayor Live" on Friday night from Palm Beach, Florida. As he kicked off the show, he noted his voice was "a little bit under the weather" after coughing.

Giuliani, who served as Trump's personal lawyer, represented Trump in lawsuits attempting to overturn the 2020 election results. He was disbarred in New York and Washington, D.C. over his involvement in those efforts.

In November, Trump pardoned Giuliani and dozens of others accused of having some involvement in attempting to overturn the 2020 election. The pardon was largely symbolic, as none of the people pardoned were convicted of federal crimes.

He also faced state charges in Georgia and Arizona for his actions following the 2020 election, and was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in special counsel Jack Smith's federal election interference case against Trump. The former mayor denied the allegations.

Giuliani was hospitalized last year after suffering injuries, including a spinal fracture, following a car crash in New Hampshire. Giuliani’s vehicle was “struck from behind at high speed,” while he was riding as a passenger.

“Our fabulous Rudy Giuliani, a True Warrior, and the Best Mayor in the History of New York City, BY FAR, has been hospitalized, and is in critical condition. What a tragedy that he was treated so badly by the Radical Left Lunatics, Democrats ALL — AND HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!” President Trump said on Sunday.

“They cheated on the Elections, fabricated hundreds of stories, did anything possible to destroy our Nation, and now, look at Rudy. So sad!” he added.
