Referee denied entry into U.S. was talking to "very bad people," official says

Andrew Giuliani, the executive director of the White House Task Force on the World Cup, is defending the decision to deny U.S. entry to Somali World Cup referee Omar Artan. Giuliani, who is the son of former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani, stated that he stands by the rejection. According to the official, the decision was based on the fact that Omar Artan was talking to individuals described as very bad people during the vetting process.
