Rudy Giuliani’s mugshot from Arizona ‘faux electors’ scheme launched
Rudy Giuliani smirks and looks down in front of the camera in his mugshot in the Arizona ‘fake electors’ case that was released on Monday.
The 80-year-old posed for his booking photo after he was indicted in Maricopa County for allegedly pressuring election officials to change the results of the 2020 election.
It’s Giuliani’s second mugshot, after he was also indicted in August 2023 on election fraud charges in Fulton County along with Donald Trump.
‘America’s Mayor’ has pleaded not guilty to nine charges against him after he appeared in court virtually for a hearing on May 21, where a judge threatened to mute him.
Giuliani came to global prominence as the mayor of New York City on 9/11. In recent years he became known as Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, and a key adviser on his efforts to hold on to power after the 2020 election.

During the hearing, the judge gave Giuliani 30 days to turn himself in to be arrested.
She also allowed the cash-strapped defendant who has filed for bankruptcy to provide a secured bond for that amount.
Her admonition came as Giuliani attacked the indictment against him and stressed financial hardships, while noting that he has showed up for repeat court appearances.
‘I’ve been sued about 20 to 25 times by a very similar movement to this one, which is the, let’s see what we can do to destroy Donald Trump,’ Giuliani complained in his online appearance.
‘I do consider this indictment a complete embarrassment to the American legal system, but I’ve shown no tendency not to comply.’
He was served notice of his indictment in the Arizona ‘fake electors’ case as he celebrated his 80th birthday with MAGA allies including Roger Stone and Steve Bannon in Palm Beach last month.
‘The mayor was completely unfazed and even laughed as he was handed the papers and drove away,’ said an outraged attendee.
‘Guests were visibly angry as they shouted at the individuals that served the former mayor.’

Some were left in tears, said the source, as if it were all a part of an effort to humiliate and intimidate Giuliani and his friends.
Earlier Giuliani taunted Arizona officials from the party, posting on X that they were running out of time to serve him in the case.
Prosecutors had been trying for weeks to deliver official notice that we he has to appear in court on May 21.
Giuliani spokesman Ted Goodman said the former New York mayor was unfazed by the episode.
‘He enjoyed an incredible evening with hundreds of people who love him – from all walks of life – and we look forward to vindication soon,’ he said.
Several members of Trump’s inner circle have been indicted in the Arizona case.
The include his former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, legal adviser Boris Epshteyn, and former campaign aide Mike Roman.
Trump himself is not named in the indictment, but he is believed to be ‘Unindicted Coconspirator 1.’
‘In Arizona, and the United States, the people elected Joseph Biden as President on November 3, 2020,’ the indictment reads.
‘Unwilling to accept this fact, defendants and unindicted coconspirators schemed to prevent the lawful transfer of the presidency to keep Unindicted Coconspirator 1 in office against the will of Arizona’s voters.’
