Rudy Giuliani to receive Presidential Medal of Freedom, Trump says
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is set to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, according to an announcement made by President Donald Trump. The prestigious award is scheduled to be presented to Giuliani in a ceremony at the White House on January 14th.
Giuliani, who served as Trump’s personal attorney and emerged as a key figure in the President’s legal team challenging the outcome of the 2020 election, has been a longtime ally of Trump. The decision to award Giuliani with the Presidential Medal of Freedom has sparked mixed reactions, with supporters praising his loyalty and dedication to Trump, while critics question the appropriateness of honoring someone who has been fiercely criticized for his efforts to overturn the election results.
In a statement, Trump lauded Giuliani as a “true American patriot” and highlighted his leadership in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks during his tenure as Mayor of New York City. Giuliani himself expressed gratitude for the honor, calling it a “privilege” to receive the award.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian award in the United States, presented to individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the security or national interests of America, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.
The announcement comes amidst a contentious period in American politics, with Trump facing impeachment for the second time and just days before President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20th.
