Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was served a patriotic-themed birthday cake during his 80th birthday party in Palm Beach, Florida, and later served with a notice of indictment related to an alleged scheme to overturn the 2020 election results in Arizona. Giuliani was indicted last month along with 18 other allies of former President Donald Trump in connection with their unsuccessful bid to award the state's 11 presidential electoral votes to Trump instead of Joe Biden. All defendants had been legally served aside from Giuliani, but that changed Friday night when he shared a post on X, taunting Arizona officials. The post featured a photo of a grinning Giuliani surrounded by a group of people at what appeared to be his birthday celebrations. Just one hour and 14 minutes later, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes confirmed authorities had finally located Giuliani after weeks of searching.
Giuliani was enjoying his birthday bash at the Palm Beach home of Caroline Wren, a GOP operative and adviser to Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake. An unidentified party guest told CNN that the celebration was interrupted late in the night by two agents from the Arizona attorney general's office, who "stormed [Giuliani] on his way out." Clips from the same night show the ex-mayor enjoying the festivities alongside Roger Stone and Steve Bannon, both of whom served as strategists for Trump.
In a post to X, Giuliani denied his celebration was "ruined" by the party crashers, calling it an "incredible night." A spokesman for Giuliani echoed this sentiment, saying the former mayor enjoyed an incredible evening with hundreds of people who love him.
