New York City
Rudolph Giuliani would be “very, very comfortable” including his third wife, Judith Nathan, in Cabinet meetings if he were president, the Republican presidential front-runner said last week. During an interview with Barbara Walters on ABC’s 20/20, Giuliani said he “couldn’t have a better advisor” on health care than Nathan, a former nurse and pharmaceutical sales representative, and that she could attend Cabinet meetings “if she wanted to.” After his remarks were widely ridiculed, Giuliani issued a clarification, saying his wife certainly would not attend most Cabinet meetings and that “she is not particularly interested in politics or policy.”
