US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that Rudy Giuliani is to win the “presidential freedom medal”, the highest civilian honor of the United States.
The freedom medal, established in 1963, is awarded to individuals who have contributed to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace or cultural or other significant public efforts.
Who is Rudy Giuliani?
In the post on the Social Truth, Donald Trump described Rudy Giuliani as “the greatest mayor in New York’s history and the same American patriot”.
“As president of the United States, I am pleased to announce that Rudy Giuliani, the largest mayor in New York, and the same American patriot, will receive the presidential medal of freedoms, the highest civil honor of our country,” Trump said on the truth.
Giuliani was the mayor of New York from 1994 to 2001. He was once praised as the “American mayor” for the leadership of New York after 11 September 2001, attacks. Later, however, the courts were sanctioned and excluded for the amplification of false demands for elections by 2020.
In recent years, he has worked as a lawyer supporting the unsuccessful effort of Trump to overturn the results of the US presidential elections by 2020.
Giuliani was also criminally accused of two countries; He refused the offense, the Associated Press reported.
For most of the last two decades, Giuliani’s public life has been defined by a significant rise and fall.
After New York led the consequences of attacks of September 11, he launched a short campaign for the Republican presidential nomination and became one of the most famous political personalities in the country.

The courts have repeatedly rejected the fraud claimed, and the two former election staff in Georgia won a judgment of a defamation of $ 148 million.
