Rudy Giuliani, who has said that he cannot afford to pay his bills in protracted court proceedings over his assets handover to two former Georgia election workers, has turned to his self-branded coffee line to make some money during the Christmas season.

This week on X, the former New York City mayor has shared multiple Christmas-themed ads touting Rudy Coffee, some of which feature him dressed in a Santa Claus costume and handing it out.

At least one of the videos features a book about the Bidens that he authored this year. “You know, they all asked for pardons for Christmas,” he says in the clip, referring to the president’s family. “Ho, ho ho!”

Meanwhile, Giuliani has continued to defy court orders to turn over assets to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the former Georgia election workers who won a defamation lawsuit against him last year. (Giuliani is appealing the verdict.) Last week, U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman ordered Giuliani to appear at a contempt hearing on Jan. 3 for not surrendering several items, including the lease to a Manhattan apartment. He also is due to stand trial before Liman on Jan. 16 over the handover of other assets.

For months, Giuliani has fought Freeman and Moss’ attempts to seize his assets as part of the nearly $150 million defamation judgment they won against him. In court filings, the women’s lawyers have accused Giuliani of delaying and hindering their ability to collect, while Giuliani’s lawyer has accused them of being “overly aggressive.”

Last month, Giuliani lashed out at Moss and Freeman in court and said he was struggling to make ends meet.

“I have no car, no credit card, no cash; everything I have is tied up,” Giuliani said. “They have put stop orders on my business accounts, and I can’t pay my bills.”
