New Trump Pick Raises Potential Fox News Count In Administration To Big Number
HuffPost
The president-elect announced yet another Fox News figure would join his government, and they're adding up.
President-elect Donald Trump named Leo Terrell for a civil rights post on Thursday, bumping the number of Fox News figures poised to join his administration to 18, according to The Daily Beast.
The eye-raising figure appears to reflect Trump’s alliance with the conservative network, which he watched with stunning regularity during his first time in the White House and afterward.
Fox News said the contributor contract of Terrell, who has been chosen to serve as senior counsel to the assistant attorney general for civil rights, has already been terminated, Politico reported.
Trump’s nominations and appointments of past and recent Fox News personalities include his recent naming of Tammy Bruce for State Department spokesperson.
The list also features former “Fox & Friends Weekend” co-host Pete Hegseth for secretary of defense, former Fox Business host Sean Duffy for secretary of transportation, former Fox News contributor Dr. Janette Nesheiwat for surgeon general, and former Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marty Makary for Food and Drug Administration commissioner, Mediaite noted.
