But Rudy doesn’t work for the executive branch, and working for the President in a personal capacity does not make someone an employee of the client’s workplace.

And it’s not completely correct that the president can just hire anyone he wants since many positions require Senate confirmation. But regardless, Trump did not hire him to be an employee of the federal government, so it’s questionable to have give him roles that are for federal employees, especially given the nature of this specific role (working with a foreign nation to investigate US citizens) and the potential conflict with his official role.
