New York, January 17 (RHC)-- Donald Trump has named former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani as his administration’s top cybersecurity adviser.  Giuliani told reporters that he will accept the position but won’t step down as CEO of his security consulting firm, Giuliani Partners.  He also plans to remain chair of the cybersecurity practice at the law firm Greenberg Traurig.

Speaking to Politico, Giuliani acknowledged that he will be connecting business associates with President Trump, but denied that presents a conflict of interest.  Because Giuliani will serve as a volunteer rather than a federal employee, his position won’t be subject to federal ethics laws.
