Rudy Giuliani, who has led President Trump's legal challenges to try to overturn the election, has tested positive for the coronavirus, the president said Sunday.
".@rudygiuliani, by far the greatest mayor in the history of NYC, and who has been working tirelessly exposing the most corrupt election (by far!) in the history of the USA, has tested positive for the China Virus. Get better soon Rudy, we will carry on!!!" Trump tweeted.
Giuliani was admitted to Medstar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, according to multiple reports. However, additional details about his condition were not immediately available.
His son, Andrew Giuliani, who works in the White House, tweeted Sunday evening that his father was "resting, getting great care and feeling well. Thank you to all the friends who have reached out concerned about his well being."
Giuliani is the latest member of Trump's inner circle to contract the virus. Trump himself was infected and spent several days in the hospital in early October, and his chief of staff, multiple senior advisers, his press secretary, his campaign manager and his oldest son have all tested positive since.
The former New York City mayor is 76, putting him at a higher risk for serious complications from the virus.
Giuliani's diagnosis comes roughly two weeks after Andrew Giuliani tested positive for the coronavirus. He held a lengthy, indoor, maskless press conference in late November with, among others, Trump campaign adviser Boris Epshteyn, who tested positive for COVID-19 shortly thereafter.
