**Trump to Award Giuliani Presidential Medal of Freedom After Car Accident**

**Washington, D.C. – September 2, 2025 (The Hindu)** – Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is set to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom from U.S. President Donald Trump, just days after being injured in a car accident in New Hampshire. The announcement, made via social media on Monday, September 1, 2025, praises Giuliani as “the greatest Mayor in the history of New York City, and an equally great American Patriot.”

Giuliani is currently recovering from a fractured vertebra and other injuries sustained in the accident, which occurred Saturday evening when the Ford Bronco he was traveling in as a passenger was rear-ended by another vehicle.

The award comes amidst a controversial period for Giuliani, who, despite being lauded for his leadership following the September 11th attacks, has faced significant backlash for his staunch support of President Trump. Giuliani was disbarred in New York and Washington following false statements about Trump’s 2020 election loss. He also faces criminal charges in Georgia and Arizona related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, all of which he denies.

Furthermore, Giuliani was recently ordered to pay $148 million in damages to former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, after being found liable for defamation over false claims of election fraud.
