When the defendants in Arizona’s fake electors case appeared in Maricopa County Superior Court Tuesday morning, only one was ordered to post a bond to be released: Rudy Giuliani.

This, prosecutors said, was the result of Giuliani evading his summons. Donald Trump’s former lawyer was the last defendant to be served after weeks of avoiding notice of his charges from the Arizona attorney general’s office. He was served on Friday shortly after taunting prosecutors online.

Prosecutor Nicholas Klingerman asked for a $10,000 cash bond and for Giuliani to come to Arizona within 30 days for booking, explaining how difficult it was to serve him.
