Andrew Giuliani, executive director of the White House Task Force on the World Cup, says a Somali referee who was denied entry into the United States was talking to “some very bad people,” according to interviews reported by CBS News and The Hill. Giuliani made the comments while discussing the refusal of the referee’s entry ahead of the FIFA World Cup. He stated that there is “classified information” connected to the case that cannot be discussed publicly at the time, adding that it could be released later. Both outlets describe Giuliani’s remarks as part of his explanation for why the individual was not allowed into the country. The reports do not provide additional details about the referee’s alleged contacts, the specific nature of the “classified information,” or any formal findings associated with the denial. The outlets also do not indicate when or whether further information will be made public. The statements are presented as claims by a Trump administration official rather than verified public facts about the referee’s activities.
