Cause and complications

Cammarata said Giuliani was hospitalized with metapneumovirus. Because he has 9/11-related respiratory problems, including restrictive airway disease and COPD, the infection became especially serious. The attorney also denied claims that an application to the World Trade Center Health Program was filed while Giuliani was in the hospital, saying the application was made in January 2026 and calling earlier reports misinformation.

Context

Spokespeople expressed gratitude for public support. Officials noted Giuliani previously suffered serious injuries in an August 2025 car crash that led to a fractured thoracic vertebra and other wounds; he was later seen wearing a chest brace at a 9/11 memorial. Giuliani served as New York City mayor from 1994 to 2001.
