Rudolph W. Giuliani, former New York City mayor and President Trump’s personal and campaign lawyer, tested positive for the coronavirus, Trump announced on Twitter on Sunday.
“@RudyGiuliani, by far the greatest mayor in New York history, and who has worked tirelessly to denounce the most corrupt (by far!) election in U.S. history, has tested positive for the Chinese virus . Heal Rudy soon, we will continue !!! Mr. Trump wrote.
Mr. Giuliani has been exposed to the virus on several occasions through contact with infected people, including during Mr. Trump’s preparation for his first debate against President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. in September, as well as during his appearance with his son, Andrew, at a press conference at the Republican National Committee headquarters about two weeks ago. But Mr Giulani had not been said to have contracted the virus until now.
It was not clear why it was Mr. Trump who announced it. It was also unclear whether Mr Giuliani, 76, was symptomatic. But at his age, he is in the high risk category for the virus.
Mr. Giuliani acted as lead counsel for Mr. Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results. He has repeatedly claimed that he has evidence of widespread fraud, but has refused to submit such evidence in the court cases he filed.
