After an Arizona grand jury indicted 18 people in late April, including Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows, over an alleged attempt to alter the results of the 2020 presidential election, prosecutors in the state have tried for weeks to serve Donald Trump's former bug-eyed attorney with notice of his indictment.

Conway also reminded viewers that he doesn't listen to his lawyers, instead making his own poor decisions about how the trial should go, which is why the cross-examination of Stormy Daniels was such a failure.
