http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2016/04/Apple-Cynthia-Hogan.jpgApple has hired Cynthia Hogan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynthia_Hogan), a top lobbyist for the National Football League, as vice president for public policy and government affairs for the Americas, reports Politico (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/04/apple-hires-cynthia-hogan-221937). She will head the company's Washington D.C. ****** starting April 29 and report to Apple's environmental, policy, and social initiatives chief Lisa Jackson."Cynthia?s intellect and judgment have consistently distinguished her as a uniquely talented professional and we?re lucky to have her join the team at Apple,? Jackson said in a statement.Hogan, who previously served as Counsel to the Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden, under President Barack Obama, is a key hire for Apple as it battles the U.S. government and law enforcement about the intersection of encryption and national security.
That ongoing debate reached a peak this year when the U.S. Justice Department demanded a court force Apple to assist the FBI (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-fbi) with unlocking an iPhone used by San Bernardi** shooter Syed Farook in an act of terrorism last year. The Justice Department ultimately dropped the case (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/03/28/doj-drops-lawsuit-against-apple/) in late March after the FBI discovered its own method of entry into the password-protected device, but Apple still faces similar lawsuits concerning encryption in other U.S. states, including New York (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/04/08/fbi-to-keep-pushing-in-ny-iphone-case/) and Massachusetts (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/04/08/fbi-to-keep-pushing-in-ny-iphone-case/).
Apple spent a record $4.4 million last year to lobby privacy, cybersecurity, patent reform and other issues, according to the report.
