About this rating


In late 2019, a meme circulated on social media reporting that Rudy Giuliani's son was employed to work in the White House on the staff of U.S. President Donald Trump.

It's true that Andrew Giuliani, the son of Trump's personal attorney, works in the White House, or at least he did as of June 28, 2019, the date of the most recent government disclosure of executive office staff. The younger Giuliani, according to the disclosure, earns $95,000 annually as special assistant to the president and associate director of the Office of Public Liaison. He was hired in 2017.
