After hours calls to the Maricopa County sheriff's office and to
the Maricopa County Superior Court clerk's office where Giuliani
said he posted bail were not returned.
"It's hard for me to believe ... that I actually had to report
as a defendant in a criminal case," Giuliani said on his show.
It was last month that Giuliani was ordered to post the bond
after he allegedly eluded authorities' attempts to serve him
court papers accusing him of trying to subvert the 2020
election.
Giuliani has pleaded not guilty to charges that he conspired to
falsely claim Arizona's electoral votes for Trump in 2020
following Trump's narrow loss to Democratic President Joe Biden.
His trial is scheduled to begin in October.
Giuliani is one of 18 defendants in the case brought by
Arizona's Democratic attorney general, Kris Mayes.
Giuliani and the other defendants are facing conspiracy, fraud
and forgery charges over their efforts to assemble a slate of
electors from Arizona pledged to support Trump, a bid to
undermine certification of the 2020 election.
Trump, a Republican, who will face off against Biden in the
November presidential election, continues to falsely claim that
his defeat was the result of fraud.
