Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani on Sunday defended his law firm's role in representing Citgo Petroleum, which is controlled by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, saying it was helping to protect American jobs. Giuliani acknowledged that his opponents will try to exploit news that a lawyer with Bracewell & Giuliani has been representing Citgo before the Texas Legislature. "Oh, they'll exploit everything," Giuliani said. The firm has had a contract with Citgo since before Giuliani joined it.
