Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor and personal lawyer for Trump, has been discharged from a New Hampshire hospital after being injured in a car crash over the weekend, his spokesman said in a statement this morning.
“Mayor Giuliani is progressing well following the motor vehicle accident that occurred Saturday evening, shortly after the mayor and I stopped to help what appeared to be a person in need of immediate assistance,” said the spokesman, Ted Goodman.
“He has been discharged from the hospital and appreciates the love, well wishes and prayers,” he added
Giuliani’s head of security, Michael Ragusa, said Sunday that Giuliani sustained injuries including a spinal fracture after he was “struck from behind at high speed” while riding as a passenger in a vehicle on a highway in New Hampshire.
He said before the crash, Giuliani had been “flagged down by a woman who was the victim of a domestic violence incident,” and he “immediately rendered assistance and contacted 911,” staying on scene until police arrived.
In a later statement Sunday, Ragusa offered conflicting details, alleging that in “a surprising turn of events, it was later determined that the woman was the aggressor, while the boyfriend — found bloodied and in poor condition — was taken to the hospital for treatment.”
Trump posted on social media yesterday that he plans on awarding Giuliani the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor.
