Something doesn’t add up about Rudy Giuliani’s coronavirus hospitalization

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

This evening Donald Trump announced that Rudy Giuliani had tested positive for coronavirus. Now, just a couple hours later, ABC News is reporting that Giuliani was hospitalized sometime earlier today. Here’s the thing.

Giuliani pretaped a remote interview with Fox News which aired this morning, but he looked even worse than usual. But consider that Giuliani, usually a motormouth on Twitter, didn’t tweet for nearly forty-eight hours before Trump announced that Giuliani had tested positive. It suggests that perhaps Giuliani has been sick at home with coronavirus for days, and that Team Trump is only admitting Giuliani has it because his hospitalization today was going to give it away anyway.

In other words, this feels like yet another attempted coronavirus coverup for Team Trump. What if Giuliani hadn’t landed in the hospital? Would he have kept holding meetings and hearings around the nation with Republican officials, while keeping his coronavirus a secret? We suspect there’s more to this story, and it won’t be pretty.
