Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has unveiled a coffee brand bearing his moniker as he fights to get out of the massive debt he’s accrued from his criminal cases.
“You all know I stand by the truth and if I put my name on something, I truly believe in it,” Mr. Giuliani said in a promotional video posted on his X page Tuesday. “Today I’m thrilled to introduce you to something I’m incredibly proud of.”
“Rudy Coffee” comes in three flavors: America’s Mayor Rudy, which is a morning blend; Fighting for Justice Rudy, a bold blend, and Enjoying Life Rudy, which is decaf. Two pounds of the beans are $29.99.
“Believe me when I say it’s the best coffee you’ll ever try,” Mr. Giuliani said in the one-minute video. “It’s smooth, rich, chocolatey and gentle on your stomach. It’s so good, I even recommend drinking it black.”
The coffee release comes just days after it was revealed that the former mayor was indicted at his own 80th birthday party in connection with alleged conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results in Arizona. Mr. Giuliani turns 80 on May 28, but was having an early celebration in Palm Beach over the weekend.
“By supporting Rudy coffee, you’re not just treating yourself to exceptional coffee, you’re also supporting our cause,” he said. “The cause of truth, justice and American democracy.”
He said the purchases also support the Call 2 Action nonprofit, which aids veterans and first responders.
Mr. Giuliani, who used to be an attorney for former President Donald Trump, filed for bankruptcy in December after a federal judge ordered him to pay more than $140 million to two Georgia election workers for accusing them of rigging the 2020 election in President Biden’s favor. Court filings listed roughly $153 million in debt. The total combines money he owes to his lawyers, tax liabilities, and potential legal judgments in lawsuits against him.
He was also indicted last year as part of the election interference case in Georgia.
