Dec 7, 20200:39Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump presented the nation's highest civilian honor to Dan Gable, a renowned wrestler and coach from Iowa who won a gold medal at the 1972 Summer Olympics.
Trump used an October campaign rally to announce the Presidential Medal of Freedom selection, bringing Gable on stage to the delight of the crowd as he sought to win over Iowa voters.
The ceremony Monday at the White House fulfilled that commitment. Gable is one of several sports figures to be presented the award during Trump's time in office.
Gable was a champion wrestler at Iowa State University, compiling a 117-1 record and winning two NCAA titles.
At the conclusion of Monday's ceremony, Trump was asked how his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani was feeling.
Trump said Sunday that Giuliani had tested positive for the coronavirus, making him the latest in Trump's inner circle to contract the disease that is now surging across the U.S.
Giuliani was exhibiting some symptoms and was admitted Sunday to Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, according to a person familiar with the matter who was not authorized to speak publicly.
The president told reporters he spoke with Giuliani on Monday.
"Rudy's doing very well," Trump said. "I just spoke to him. He's doing very well. No temperature."
The 76-year-old former New York mayor has traveled extensively to battleground states in an effort to help Trump subvert his election loss to Joe Biden. On numerous occasions he has met with officials for hours at a time without wearing a mask.
Trump also used the ceremony to, again, push his false narrative that he won the presidential election.
