Rudy Giuliani Hospitalized in Critical Condition
NEW YORK (AP) — Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been hospitalized in critical but stable condition, his spokesperson Ted Goodman confirmed on Sunday. The announcement comes just days after the 81-year-old Republican told his talk show audience that his voice was 'a little under the weather.'
Goodman did not disclose the specific reason for Giuliani's hospitalization, how long he has been in the hospital, or his prognosis. The former mayor, who served as New York's mayor from 1994 to 2001 and later as a personal lawyer for former President Donald Trump, has faced a series of health issues in recent years.
Giuliani's health scare adds to a tumultuous period for the former mayor, who has been involved in multiple legal battles and controversies. His talk show, which airs on WABC radio, has been a platform for his political commentary, but his recent on-air comments about feeling unwell raised concerns among listeners.
As of now, no further details about his condition have been released. The news has drawn reactions from political figures and the public, with many wishing him a speedy recovery.

In other news, Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly growing increasingly isolated amid tightened security and assassination fears, according to a Financial Times report. The report, citing anonymous sources and a source close to European intelligence services, indicates that the Kremlin's concerns about a potential drone assassination attempt have escalated, fueled by Ukraine's military capabilities and the recent capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by the U.S.
As a result, Putin has reduced the number of visits he makes and has increased his time in bunkers. He has also become hyper-focused on Russia's war with Ukraine, detaching himself from other domestic issues. The Kremlin did not immediately respond to the Financial Times' request for comment.
