Huawei has hired Samir Jain, former Obama administration ex-White House National Security Council cyber security chief That is scary name
•At the White House, Jain led a team responsible for cyber incident response and was chairman of a group that reviewed proposed cyber operations by the U.S.
•Trump believes the hiring of Jain to lobby for Huawei is part of a major propaganda and influence campaign by the Chinese government
•U.S. government began a crackdown on Huawei over fears the technology firm might be using its products to spy on Americans and asked its allies to follow suit
President Trump has lashed out on Twitter to complain about the appointment of a former Obama administration cyber security official as lobbyist for Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei Technologies.
Samir Jain was the former senior director for cybersecurity policy at the White House National Security Council during the Obama administration, but he has now registered as a lobbyist for Shenzhen-based Huawei.
'Chinese Telecom Giant Huawei hires former Obama Cyber Security Official as a lobbyist. This is not good, or acceptable!' the President wrote in a tweet on Sunday evening.
The company, which is owned by the Chinese government, has fallen under the suspicion of U.S. officials in the past over fears the technology firm might be using its products to somehow spy on Americans.
Trump's tweet shows that he believes that the hiring of Jain to lobby for Huawei is part of a major propaganda and influence campaign by the Chinese government to counter the U.S. government crackdown on Huawei.
Jain, is now with the lobbying firm Jones Day on behalf of the Chinese firm.
Jain served at the White House from 2016 to 2017 and before that was an associate deputy attorney general from 2014 to 2015, where he worked on national security and computer fraud issues.
While at the White House, Jain led a team that was responsible for cyber security and was chairman of an inter-agency group that reviewed proposed cyber operations by the U.S. government.
