| Giuliani pulls name from contention for secretary of state |
| 2016-12-10 |
| [POLITICO] Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani pulled out of the secretary of state sweepstakes late last month, President-elect Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s transition team said Friday, as Trump has widened his search to select the nation’s top diplomat. "Rudy Giuliani is an extraordinarily talented and patriotic American. I will always be appreciative of his 24/7 dedication to our campaign after I won the primaries and for his extremely wise counsel," Trump said in a written statement. "He is and continues to be a close personal friend, and as appropriate, I will call upon him for advice and can see an important place for him in the administration at a later date." The transition team said that he withdrew on Nov. 29, though aides had mentioned him as one of four contenders multiple times after that date. Giuliani had previously publicly campaigned for the post, but on Friday he explained his decision to withdraw. "The whole thing was becoming kind of very confusing and very difficult for the president-elect, and my desire to be in the Cabinet was great, but it wasn't that great," Giuliani said in a Fox News interview. "He had a lot of terrific candidates, and I thought I could play a better role being on the outside and continuing to be his close friend and adviser." |
