President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani needed to go to the Apple Store after getting locked out of his iPhone shortly after the president named him one of his cybersecurity advisers.
Less than a month after Trump appointed him in January 2017, Giuliani walked into a downtown San Francisco area Apple Store with his locked iPhone. The phone had been wiped because he had entered the wrong password at least 10 times, NBC News reported.
A former Apple employee who was at the store when the former New York City mayor came in said it was “very sloppy.” That former employee then added, “Trump had just named him as an informal adviser on cybersecurity and here, he couldn’t even master the fundamentals of securing your own device.”
The new report brings Giuliani’s technological savvy into question for the second time in several weeks. He butt-dialed an NBC reporter twice recently and left a three-minute-long voicemail where he could be heard discussing former Vice President Joe Biden and his need for cash.
The first voicemail butt-dial took place Sept. 28, and Giuliani could be heard discussing his effort to convince Ukrainian leaders to investigate the Bidens, which has since become the catalyst for an impeachment investigation.
Two weeks later, Giuliani left another voicemail on the reporter’s phone talking about Bahrain.
