According to the state’s attorney general, Rudy Giuliani’s fondness for live streams played a crucial role in allowing Arizona authorities to finally serve him.
Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor, celebrated his 80th birthday party on Friday night in Palm Beach, Florida. However, right after the festivities, he was served with an indictment. Last month, Giuliani was indicted in the battleground for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Despite weeks of unsuccessful attempts, the serving finally took place.
During an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on “The Source,” Kris Mayes pointed out that Giuliani’s location was inadvertently revealed through his live stream of the party.
According to Mayes, Giuliani, who has also faced indictment in Georgia for election interference, was the final defendant in Arizona’s comprehensive indictment to be served.
“We made numerous attempts in various ways to serve Mr. Giuliani,” she explained. “Our agents even traveled to New York City with the intention of serving him, but we were denied access to his building. We stayed there for two days, hoping to make contact. When our efforts proved unsuccessful, we resorted to mailing him a letter and making phone calls. Finally, we had to send agents to Florida, where he was located at that time, in order to serve him.”
According to Mayes, it seems that Giuliani is intentionally evading being served, which aligns with a social media post he had previously shared but later deleted, where he boasted about authorities’ inability to locate him.
According to Mayes, Rudy Giuliani, being well-versed in the workings of the system, seems to have been aware of the process and actively avoiding being served. Mayes acknowledged Giuliani’s frequent podcasting activities, which made it relatively simple to track him down. However, Giuliani was not cooperative and managed to elude their agents.
According to the speaker, they were able to determine Giuliani’s location by watching his live stream. They found him easily and professionally served him with the papers after his birthday party, as he was leaving the house. The speaker mentioned that Giuliani was given a copy of the papers and then went on his way.
Mayes also denied Giuliani’s assertion that he had informed the authorities about his whereabouts before being served.
“He kept us in the dark about his whereabouts,” Mayes chuckled, “but he made it known to the world through his live broadcast.”
According to a spokesperson from The Daily Beast, Giuliani was served after the party as he was walking to the car. The spokesperson mentioned that Giuliani remained unfazed by the incident and had a wonderful evening with a diverse group of people who admire and appreciate his contributions to society. They expressed optimism for his complete vindication in the near future.
Rudy Giuliani, who filed for bankruptcy in December following a court order to pay $148 million for defaming two Georgia poll workers, is scheduled to appear in court in Arizona on Tuesday.
