Rudy Giuliani is continuing his journey from New York mayor to Trump lawyer to criminal defendant and now to coffee salesman as he grapples with bankruptcy and a debt of $148m.
Mr Giuliani launched his next attempt to get money from Trump supporters on Tuesday with a video from TV doctor Maria Ryan.
“I'm really looking at to improve my health. I do know coffee has health benefits, but not in those little plastic things that are already ground – hurts my stomach,” she says in the video. “So I was looking for products that had non-GMO, really organic bean farms, and I couldn't find any, so Rudy Giuliani and I collaborated and we have rudy.coffee coming to your home soon.”
The website hocking the coffee says deliveries will ship in June.
“I’ve moved at a fast pace, and have had many different roles in life, but the one constant thing has been a good cup of coffee, which is now proven to have health benefits,” a quote attributed to Mr Giuliani states on the site. “Please enjoy my delicious fresh roasted specialty coffee. It’s quality you can trust.”
