Rudy Giuliani Reportedly Hospitalized After Testing Positive For Covid-19 President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, who has spent the past month leading the charge to overturn the results of the 2020 election, has been hospitalized after testing positive for Covid-19, according to multiple reports, sparking concern over the large number of people Giuliani has come into contact with over the past few weeks. President Trump announced Giuliani’s positive diagnosis in a tweet Sunday afternoon, but did not give any details about when the former New York City mayor tested positive for the virus or whether he experienced any symptoms, urging: “Get better soon Rudy, we will carry on!!” The New York Times and ABC News later reported that Giuliani was admitted to Georgetown University Medical Center on Sunday. At 76, Giuliani is considered to be high risk for complications from the virus. Giuliani has repeatedly come into contact with people infected with the virus, including his son Andrew, a special assistant to the president who tested positive for Covid-19 on Nov. 20, a day after the two held a news conference together at the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C. Though another top advisor to the president who was also at the press conference, Boris Epshteyn, announced a few days later that he’d tested positive for the virus as well, Giuliani continued to travel, hosting events and hearings in battleground states to promote baseless voter fraud conspiracy theories. Last week, Giuliani went to Arizona, Michigan and Georgia, where he attended indoor meetings (photos and videos show him not wearing in a mask) in an effort to persuade state legislators to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. The previous week he was in Pennsylvania for a Nov. 25 hearing where footage shows that almost no one was wearing a mask (two of the GOP state senators in attendance have since tested positive for Covid-19). Giuliani, who has not yet publicly commented on the diagnosis and did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Forbes, made no mention of Covid-19 while promoting voter fraud claims on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” earlier in the day. CHIEF CRITIC One Michigan lawmaker who was at a legislative meeting attended by Giuliani on Wednesday immediately unleashed criticism on the former mayor for “endangering all of us in that hearing room and the capitol.” “Not only was the Rudy show dangerous to our democracy, but it was also a threat to our health,” wrote Michigan Rep. Darrin Camilleri. “We knew it was a bad idea, but my Republican colleagues in the state legislature pushed on anyway.” KEY BACKGROUND Due to a lack of adherence to coronavirus guidelines, Giuliani is one of dozens in Trump’s orbit to test positive for Covid-19. According to an NBC tally, this latest diagnosis brings the total number of those infected “in and around” the president to 53. Trump himself was briefly hospitalized in early October after contracting the virus. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jemimamcevoy/2020/12/06/rudy-giuliani-tests-positive-for-covid-19-trump-says/?sh=3b57ecc34c3d
