** FILE ** Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani holds a press conference Jan. 14, 2002, in New York to announce the formation of Giuliani Partners as a strategic partnership with the large accounting firm Ernst & Young. Federal conflict-of-interest rules do not apply to the president or vice president, because they are not technically considered government employees, but Giuliani's presidential campaign has said he is considering how and when to separate himself from his business interests.
