Giuliani recovering from pneumonia and 'now breathing on his own'

TL;DR

Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor and long-time champion of President Donald Trump, is recovering from pneumonia and "is now breathing on his own", according to his spokesman. In a statement on X, spokesman Ted Goodman said that Giuliani has had "restrictive airway disease" since the 9/11 terror attacks that diminished his ability to fight off pneumonia. "The virus quickly overwhelmed his body, requiring mechanical ventilation to maintain adequate oxygen and stabilize his condition," Goodman said.
