Citi appoints former UK foreign minister Hague as senior adviser

By Anjuli Davies LONDON (Reuters) - Citigroup has hired former British foreign minister William Hague to be a senior adviser to the Wall Street bank, as Britain prepares to negotiate its exit from the European Union. Banks and investment firms have a long history of recruiting former political leaders and policymakers as advisers, and the appointment of Hague follows that of Mervyn King, former Governor of the Bank of England as senior adviser to Citi in July.
