Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani has launched a self-branded coffee line amid spiral legal woes and costs. The new brand seems to be an effort to raise money for his ever-growing list of creditors.
“By supporting Rudy Coffee, you’re not just treating yourself to exceptional coffee, you’re also supporting our cause – the cause of truth, justice, and American democracy,” Giuliani said in the video.
On Tuesday, the former mayor and several other state Republican leaders pleaded not guilty to charges of allegedly conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Arizona.
Giuliani, who was ordered to post a $10,000 bond, was served with the summons on Friday at his 80th birthday celebration in Palm Beach, Florida after Arizona prosecutors had spent weeks trying to track him down. The former mayor claimed he had not been hiding from the authorities and cited security concerns and threats he had received.
Joining Giuliani in entering not-guilty pleas on Tuesday were ten other defendants, including Trump campaign aide Mike Roman, former Arizona Republican Party Chair Kelli Ward and Donald Trump ally Christina Bobb, who now serves as the Republican National Committee’s top lawyer for “election integrity.” Former Trump lawyer John Eastman had already pleaded not guilty last week.
The indictment suggests that Trump himself may be an “Unindicted Coconspirator” in the case, though he has not been charged. Several other prominent figures, such as former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, former Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn and former Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis, are scheduled to appear in court next month.
Prosecutors argued that Giuliani had been uncooperative in the process, and one prosecutor stated that agents had waited outside his birthday party to serve him. Giuliani, however, maintained that he had not been hiding and claimed the indictment was an “embarrassment to the American legal system.”
As the legal saga continues to unfold, the case is shining a spotlight on the ongoing controversy surrounding the 2020 election and the efforts by some Trump allies to challenge the results. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for the political landscape in the years to come.
