Giuliani and 18 US Code 1073 Flight to avoid prosecution or giving testimony

How the flying fuck is Giuliani not in violation of this law?

For the purposes of clause (3) of this paragraph, the term “State” includes a State of the United States, the District of Columbia, and any commonwealth, territory, or possession of the United States.
