Rudy Giuliani poses for a mugshot weeks after pleading not guilty in an Arizona election interference case (Maricopa County Sheriff's Office)


Rudy Giuliani appears in a new mugshot weeks after pleading not guilty to election interference charges in Arizona. The former New New York City mayor’s latest mugshot was released by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office on Monday. Giuliani gave a wily smile as he went before the cameras. He had a previous mugshot taken in Georgia after being charged there, but appeared far less excited in that portrait.

In late May, Giuliani pleaded not guilty to nine felony charges for his alleged role in a 2020 election interference plot. Another 17 other people were also charged in connection to the case. The additional seven people charged, including Giuliani, were included for their alleged roles in the scheme.

The Arizona indictment accuses the defendants of interfering with “the lawful transfer of the presidency of the United States, keeping President Donald Trump in office against the will of Arizona voters, and depriving Arizona voters of their right to vote and have their votes counted.”

Prosecutors say that one month after the 2020 election, 11 Republicans supporting Trump convened at the state’s GOP headquarters to sign certificates claiming the state’s electoral college votes.
