Rudy Giuliani could be seen smirking and looking down in front of the camera in his mugshot in the Arizona ‘fake electors’ case that was released on Monday via Daily Mail.
It has been noted that the 80-year-old posed for his booking photo as he was indicted in Maricopa County for allegedly pressuring election officials to change the results of the 2020 election. This marked his second mugshot, after he was also indicted in August 2023 on election fraud charges in Fulton County along with former President Donald Trump.
‘America’s Mayor’ has also 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.
It is noted that 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.
Giuliani also faces charges in Fulton County, Georgia – where he is among the 18 co-defendants of former President Trump in the election interference case brought by District Attorney Fani Willis.
Three days ahead of the headshot in the Arizona case was released, Giuliani sparked backlash over his comments at the ReAwaken America Tour where he called Willis a ‘ho’ at an event at a mega-church in Michigan.
Meanwhile, at the hearing in Arizona, 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 warning 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.’
