Arizona Attorney General, Chris Mays, recently shed light on the efforts made to serve Rudy Giuliani, one of the 18 defendants in a case. Mays explained that Giuliani was the last to be served, despite multiple attempts over several weeks. Agents had traveled to New York City, where Giuliani resides, but were denied access to his building. Subsequently, they resorted to tracking his whereabouts through his live streams and podcasts, eventually serving him in Florida on his 80th birthday.
When asked about Giuliani's response to being served, Mays mentioned that he seemed surprised but accepted the papers and left the scene. Emphasizing the seriousness of the case, Mays stated that Giuliani is expected to appear in court along with other defendants. Despite Giuliani's claim that he had informed authorities of his whereabouts, Mays clarified that Giuliani did not directly provide his location, relying instead on public information.
Regarding Giuliani's social media posts, where he asserted that he had cooperated by accepting service, Mays refuted the claim, highlighting the extensive efforts made to serve him. Mays expressed confidence in Giuliani's appearance in court, whether in person or virtually, underscoring the importance of taking the legal proceedings seriously.
As the legal saga unfolds, Mays reiterated the expectation for Giuliani to attend the court hearing, scheduled alongside other defendants. The Arizona Attorney General's account provides insight into the challenges faced in serving Giuliani and the determination to ensure compliance with legal procedures.
