Radio host Giuliani interviews his hospital boss 'lover' about benefits of Trump-backed hydroxy - without mentioning she was his alleged girlfriend

Rudy Giuliani interviewed his alleged mistress on his radio show where they touted the benefits of controversial antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine as a cure to coronavirus.

The former New York City mayor interviewed Maria Ryan, the CEO of a small New Hampshire hospital, as a medical expert on his radio show 'Uncovering the Truth' on Monday.

Ryan was named in divorce court documents by Giuliani’s third wife Judy in 2018 claiming they were having an affair throughout their marriage. 

Giuliani has denied the affair saying there was 'no proof' they were together despite being spotted together at an upstate hotel in March 2018 and attending a White House dinner together in September 2019.

Giuliani repeatedly referred to Ryan as 'doctor' during the interview, while some listeners noted her doctorate is in hospital administration, according to Page Six.

In the radio interview they claimed hydroxychloroquine is safe and effective to fight COVID-19 after President Donald Trump said he took the drug as a preventative measure against the virus, even though the drug hasn't been medically proven to work. He said he stopped taking the drug on Sunday.

'We spent some time looking at all the studies available, and there’s many available… there’s a pretty good study from France but also studies in Italy, Turkey and China, a very comprehensive study from Brazil that I liked…and they concluded that hydroxychloroqine, or as its referred to in the laboratory that HCQ, that HCQ is over 90 percent effective,' she said.

'I consider this like battlefield learning. These doctors are looking at the cases and what works and doesn’t work,' Giuliani said.

Hydroxychloroquine is an antimalarial drug often used to treat lupus or rheumatoid disease.

So far there are still no approved treatments for COVID-19.

The World Health Organization announced Monday it was suspending a trial of hydroxychloroquine in treating COVID-19 due to potential risks.

'It’s pretty sad to see Rudy’s decline from "America’s mayor" to hawking snake oil cures on a radio show that no one listens to,' a source from DC said to Page Six.

'At this rate, he’s going to be touting drinking bleach as a coronavirus cure on late-night infomercials before too long,' the source added. 

Dr. Ryan is the chief executive officer of Cottage Hospital, a small medical center in New Hampshire.

She is married to former US Marine Robert Ryan and she has claimed that she and Giuliani are just 'friends' in the past.

Judy Giuliani filed for divorce on April 2018 and it was settled on December 10, 2019. They had married in 2003. 

In divorce documents Judy claimed her husband spent $286,532 on Ryan and accused them of having an affair. Ryan’s daughter Vanessa Ryan, Giuliani’s former personal assistant, denied claims of the affair, as per the New York Times. 

She said that her mother would sometimes work as a consultant for Giuliani.

Back in June 2018, Page Six reported that Giulliani boasted to friends that he was sleeping with a woman who had 'big boobs' to his friends, but did not reveal her identity.
