Rudy Giuliani, a well-known Republican figure and former mayor, recently faced some legal trouble on his 80th birthday. He and 11 others were indicted for their alleged involvement in a document submission to Congress declaring Trump as the winner of the 2020 election in Arizona. This action was seen as an attempt to interfere with the transfer of power to President Joe Biden.
The Democratic Arizona Attorney General, Kris Mayes, made it clear that Giuliani, like everyone else, is subject to the law. Despite the timing of the indictment being served on his birthday, Giuliani seemed undeterred. His spokesperson, Ted Goodman, mentioned that Giuliani was not bothered by the attempt to embarrass him during his celebration.
