Radical Democrat Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has completely folded and dismissed the unconstitutional, politically motivated criminal case against America’s Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, and 17 other innocent Republican co-defendants.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the rogue Arizona Attorney General’s office launched this weaponized stunt purely as political theater.
In a spiteful move to maximize media coverage, partisan operatives deliberately waited until Rudy Giuliani’s 80th birthday party to aggressively serve him with the unconstitutional papers as he walked to his car.
From day one, the entire case was a corrupt sham designed to punish Trump’s allies for daring to exercise their First Amendment right to petition the government and challenge the highly irregular 2020 presidential election results.
Giuliani celebrated the long-overdue vindication on X today, writing:
The prosecutor in Arizona has finally dropped the unjustified and unconstitutional charges against me and all my innocent co-defendants. All the claims about falsifying data, electors et al was a part of the Democrat massive corruption of our previously world renowned justice system.

The dismissal comes after Arizona courts sided with defense attorneys who argued that the original grand jury proceedings were flawed because prosecutors failed to properly present relevant election-law provisions governing presidential electors. The legal setback forced Mayes’ office into a race against procedural deadlines, ultimately resulting in the dismissal of the current indictment.
The original April 2024 indictments targeted 18 Americans, including Giuliani, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, attorney John Eastman, RNC counsel Christina Bobb, and Arizona Republican leaders such as former state party chair Kelli Ward. They were hit with nine counts each of conspiracy, fraudulent schemes and artifices, and forgery for submitting an alternate certificate of ascertainment, a legal safeguard, not a crime.
Prosecutors alleged the defendants participated in an alternate-elector strategy following President Trump’s narrow loss in the state.
Even in announcing the dismissal, Mayes’ office made it clear they intend to drag this back before a new grand jury.
This marks the third major “fake electors” case brought by Democrat prosecutors to collapse, following similar failures in Georgia and Michigan.
