Mr. Trump recommends 'confident' figures to take up political and security positions

VTC NewsVTC News02/12/2024


Mr. Kash Patel, former Chief of Staff of the US Department of Defense during Mr. Trump's first term and a member of the board of directors of the Truth Social platform, will take on the role of Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Patel has been a vocal supporter of Trump since before he was first elected president; he was instrumental in neutralizing investigations initiated by Democrats into possible Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election in Trump's favor.

During his time at the Department of Defense and after leaving office, Patel repeatedly denounced the “deep state” of mainstream politicians and criticized the cumbersome FBI apparatus. Mr. Trump’s nomination of Mr. Patel attracted public attention because current FBI Director Christopher Wray was appointed by Mr. Trump himself (in August 2017), and has three years left in his term.

Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister will take over as Director of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). He was appointed Sheriff in 2017 and has been re-elected twice. Florida officials say Chronister is a seasoned officer who has proven himself over many years on the front lines of the drug war.

Businessman Charles Kushner, a real estate billionaire operating mainly in the state of New Jersey, "father-in-law" of President-elect Trump (father-in-law of Mrs. Ivanka Trump, Mr. Trump's eldest daughter) will take on the position of US Ambassador to France.

This is also a nomination that has received special attention from the public, because Mr. Charles Kushner was imprisoned (in 2005-2006) for illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering. In 2020, Mr. Charles Kushner was pardoned by President Trump for his contributions to “reform and charitable activities” - a decision that was considered “immoral” by the American public at the time.

Charles Kushner's entry into politics has once again sparked speculation about the role of Jared Kushner, his son Charles Kushner and Trump's son-in-law in the second Trump administration. Over the past year, Jared Kushner has repeatedly stated that he will not return to the administration because he wants to focus resources on his private investment company.

Lebanese-American businessman Massad Boulos, a billionaire carmaker who operates mainly in Nigeria and is also President-elect Trump’s “father-in-law” (father-in-law of Tiffany Trump, Trump’s youngest daughter), will serve as Senior Advisor to the President for Arab Countries and the Middle East. During the final stages of the 2024 presidential election, Mr. Boulos has been in contact with Arab communities and Muslim voters in the US on behalf of Mr. Trump, and is considered one of the key factors helping Mr. Trump win in the key battleground state of Michigan.

The candidates announced by President-elect Trump on November 30 and December 1 have created a new "wave" of controversy within the United States.

The US press, citing informed sources, said that the Republican Party's key figures were pleased with Mr. Trump's selection of Mr. Kash Patel as FBI Director, but were somewhat concerned about the limited foreign affairs experience of the two businessmen, Charles Kushner and Massad Boulos. Meanwhile, the Democrats continued to strongly criticize Mr. Trump's personnel nominations, claiming that he was trying to turn the new administration into a "private corporation" with all the trusted personnel.
