Source: The Age Au.

US President Donald Trump will award the presidential medal of freedom to former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, one day after Giuliani was hospitalised for injuries suffered in a serious car crash in New Hampshire.

Giuliani was a moderate Republican who won accolades for his response to the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, but turned increasingly partisan in later years and became Trump’s personal lawyer during his efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat to Joe Biden.
