Arizona AG Confirms Giuliani’s Indictment in 2020
Election Case Arizona Attorney General (Arizona AG) Kris Mayes confirmed that Rudy Giuliani has been indicted in connection with the 2020 election case involving former President Donald Trump. Mayes, a Democrat, announced the news late Friday on social media platform X, stating, “The final defendant was served moments ago. @RudyGiuliani nobody is above the law.” This confirmation identifies Giuliani as the 18th defendant in the state’s fake electors case.
Mayes’ announcement followed a deleted post by Giuliani in which he wrote, “If authorities can’t find me by tomorrow morning: 1. They must dismiss the indictment; 2. They must concede they can’t count votes,” according to FOX 10 Phoenix. Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City, was celebrating his 80th birthday over the weekend when he was served.
