Rudy Giuliani complains Arizona indictment not served ‘stylishly’

Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani has complained that an indictment handed down against him in connection with Arizona’s fake electors case was not served “stylishly”.

Giuliani was one of 17 defendants who was charged over his role in attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The Trump ally was served a copy of a document containing the charges against him during a celebration for his 80th birthday in Palm Beach, Florida, a party thrown by Republican fundraiser Caroline Wren.

He expressed dissatisfaction with the way the indictment was presented in remarks he made on Sunday alongside his girlfriend Maria Ryan.

“So one guy, he walked in between a couple of people who didn’t know who he was. And he handed me a folded-up, crumpling piece of paper. It was a crumpling piece of paper. It wasn’t, like, done stylishly,” Giuliani said.

“And he handed it to me, and he said, this is from Arizona attorney general [Kris Mayes]. I still don’t have the indictment,” he added.

Giuliani’s indictment papers came after he mocked Mayes on social media.

In a post on X that has since been deleted, Giuliani bragged about evading Mayes – and the former attorney to Trump claimed that charges against him would be dismissed if officials could not serve him in time.

“If Arizona authorities can’t find me by tomorrow morning: 1. They must dismiss the indictment 2. They must concede they can’t count votes,” Giuliani wrote in the post, which also had a picture featuring smiling friends and party balloons.

The indictment was served hours later. Mayes tweeted on 17 May: “The final defendant was served moments ago. [Rudy Giuliani, ] nobody is above the law.”

Mayes also shared a screenshot of Giuliani’s deleted post.
