Rudy Giuliani was the subject a swift and comical fact check Monday from the Arizona attorney general who successfully subpoenaed him to appear in court.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes detailed the many ways her office attempted to serve Rudy Giuliani before issuing the court summons at the former New York City mayor's 80th birthday in Florida.
"We had the attempted on multiple occasions in multiple ways to serve Mr. Giuliani our agents had traveled to New York City to try to serve him," Mayes said. "We were not allowed in his building there where he lives. We stayed there for two days."
Mayes told CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins that her team eventually replied upon Giuliani's social media to locate Trump's onetime lawyer and confidante.

"We found out essentially through his through his live streams," Mayes said. "He's not that hard to find."
Giuliani and other Trump allies have been charged in Arizona, Georgia and Michigan with their efforts to overturn the 2020 election results on behalf of the former president, who has been charged himself in Georgia and Washington, D.C.
Collins asked Mayes to verify a statement made by Giuliani had reached out to her agents "like a gentleman" and told them where he could be found.
"Is that true?" Collins asked. "Or was it that you just knew because it was widely publicized that he was having a birthday party in Palm Beach?"
Faced with this question, Mayes started laughing.
"Yeah, I can tell you he did not tell us where he was gonna be except that he told the world where he was," Mayes said. "It was really hard to believe he didn't know that we were looking for him given the number of times and the different ways we had tried."
