By Joe Kovacs
President-elect Donald Trump is continuing his rapid-fire selections of names he would like to see serve in his administration.
Matt Gaetz: Attorney general
U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., is nominated to be U.S. attorney general.
“It is my Great Honor to announce that Congressman Matt Gaetz, of Florida, is hereby nominated to be The Attorney General of the United States,” Trump said.
“Matt is a deeply gifted and tenacious attorney, trained at the William & Mary College of Law, who has distinguished himself in Congress through his focus on achieving desperately needed reform at the Department of Justice. Few issues in America are more important than ending the partisan Weaponization of our Justice System.
“Matt will end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations and restore Americans’ badly-shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department. On the House Judiciary Committee, which performs oversight of DOJ, Matt played a key role in defeating the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, and exposing alarming and systemic Government Corruption and Weaponization. He is a Champion for the Constitution and the Rule of Law.
“Matt will root out the systemic corruption at DOJ, and return the Department to its true mission of fighting Crime, and upholding our Democracy and Constitution. We must have Honesty, Integrity, and Transparency at DOJ. Under Matt’s leadership, all Americans will be proud of the Department of Justice once again.”

Tulsi Gabbard: Director of National Intelligence
Former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has been selected for director of national intelligence, a post that was created after Sept. 11, 2001, to make sure U.S. intel agencies communicate with each other.
“For over two decades, Tulsi has fought for our Country and for all Americans,” Trump said.
“As a former candidate for the Democrat Presidential Nomination, she has broad support in both parties – She is now a proud Republican!”
