Trump attorney 'Rudy Giuliani' hospitalized after testing positive for COVID-19 1

Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City and President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, has tested positive for COVID-19. Trump delivered the news by tweet, writing “Get better soon Rudy, we will carry on!!!”

Giuliani, 76, was admitted to Georgetown University Medical Center on Sunday, two people who were aware of his condition but not authorized to speak publicly told USA TODAY.


Later Sunday, Giuliani expressed appreciation for “the prayers and kind wishes” on Twitter, adding that he is “recovering quickly and keeping up with everything.”

It is unclear how Giuliani became infected. He appeared on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” show to call for the Georgia State Legislature to overturn the election results in Trump’s favor an hour before his diagnosis was announced.
