Shortly after Goodman's post was published, Trump wrote on social media: "Our fabulous Rudy Giuliani, a True Warrior, and the Best Mayor in the History of New York City, BY FAR, has been hospitalized, and is in critical condition. " He went on to praise Giuliani's efforts contesting the 2020 election results on his behalf, adding "he was treated so badly by the Radical Left Lunatics".
Goodman did not give details. Giuliani was injured in a car accident late last year. After the 2020 presidential election, Giuliani and other advisers traveled across the country accusing Trump's opponent - former President Joe Biden - of attempting to steal the election and making false claims about the results.

"Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he's fighting with that same level of strength as we speak," Goodman said in the social media post. He added: "We do ask that you join us in prayer for America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

He suffered a fractured thoracic vertebrae, multiple lacerations and contusions, and injuries to his left arm and lower leg, his security guard said at the time.
The development has drawn wide international attention, with diplomatic circles watching closely.
