Andrew Harold Giuliani (born January 30, 1986)[1] is an American political aide serving as the Public Liaison Assistant in the Office of Public Liaison to President Donald Trump. He is the son of Rudy Giuliani, Trump's personal attorney and former mayor of New York City.

Early life and education

Giuliani was born to Rudy Giuliani and Donna Hanover in 1986. He has one sister, Caroline. His father was elected mayor of New York City in 1993, and Andrew attracted attention due to his behavior during his father's oath of office. During the ceremony, Andrew repeated parts of the oath along with his father.[2][3] Andrew was exuberant on the podium beside his father, as he blew kisses to the cameras, mimicked every hand gesture of his father, and shouted out, “It should be so and it will be so!”[4] In October 2000, his father filed for divorce; the divorce was finalized in July 2002, with his mother being awarded custody of both him and his sister Caroline.[5][6]

In June 2001, at 15 years of age, he played in the pro-am at the Buick Classic at the Westchester Country Club, partnered with world # 1 Tiger Woods.[7][8] Giuliani said: "I was speechless."[9] He said: "I can't go any higher," after a perfect shot on the second hole about 35 feet from the cup.[9] After Giuliani shot an 85, Woods said: "He's not afraid to take a cut at it."[9]

Giuliani attended Saint Joseph Regional High School ('05) in Montvale, New Jersey.[10] There, he lettered all four years in golf, and three years in football.[11]

He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Duke University, where Giuliani studied markets, management, and sociology, graduating in May 2009.[12][13] Giuliani was recruited to Duke by former coach Rod Myers.[14] Myers died, and a new coach was brought in.[15] While at Duke, Giuliani was a member of the men's golf team, and planned on pursuing a career in professional golf.[11][16][17] However, in 2008, Giuliani was cut from the team, where he was ranked 12th out of 14 players, not on the basis of his performance but for breaches of discipline-what he said were minor or fabricated infractions; gunning the engine of his car as he left a parking lot, breaking a club, and throwing an apple at a teammate.[18][19][20][21][17] In July 2008, Giuliani sued the university, saying that his golf coach "manufactured accusations against him to justify kicking him off the team to whittle the squad."[22][23] The lawsuit was dismissed in 2010.[2][24]

Career

After college, Giuliani worked as a sales intern at CapRok Capital in Rye, New York,[12] as well as trying to earn a living as a professional golfer; he turned pro at the beginning of 2009.[25] In August 2009, he won the Metropolitan Open and its first-place prize of $27,500.[26]

Giuliani appeared on the Golf Channel show The Big Break during the 12th season of the show, Big Break Disney Golf, which was televised between October through December 2009; he was eliminated in week 8. He returned in 2010 for the 14th season, Big Break Dominican Republic;[27][28] he was not the male winner.

In April 2011, Giuliani missed the cut at a Korn Ferry Tour event in Georgia.[29] In 2016, he started the process to regain his amateur status.[16]

In 2017, Giuliani was hired to work in the Trump Administration, in the Office of Public Liaison, as an associate director, making $77,000; by mid-2018 his salary had increased to $90,700.[30][31][30] In his position, he helps arrange sports teams’ visits to the White House.[31][2][32] He has also represented his office in White House meetings on the opioid crisis.[31]

Giuliani's unescorted access to the West Wing was rescinded by White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly around the beginning of June 2018.[33][34] After Kelly's departure in January 2019, Mick Mulvaney restored Giuliani's access, and Giuliani was promoted to be a special assistant to the president; by mid-2019 his salary was $95,000 per year.[35][31][30]

Giuliani has played golf with Trump since Giuliani was a teenager.[35] Since starting work at the White House, he has been a regular golf partner of Trump, and traveled with Trump for the sole purpose of playing a round or two of golf with the president.[36][31] In January 2020, the Irish Times called him "Trump's most regular playing partner".[17]

On December 16, 2020, Trump stated his intention to nominate Giuliani as a board member of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.[37]

Personal life

Guiliani was raised in the Catholic faith and was baptized by Monsignor Alan Placa.

In 2010 and 2011, Guiliani dated Sarah Hughes, a competitive figure skater and Olympic gold medal winner.[38] In August 2016, he announced his engagement to Zivile Rezgyte (Lithuanian: Živilė Rezgytė), a Lithuanian-born real estate account executive.[39][40] They married in a Catholic ceremony at the Church of St. Joseph in Greenwich Village in Manhattan on July 14, 2017.[41]

On November 20, 2020, Giuliani tested positive for COVID-19.[42]
