President-elect Donald Trump announced a slew of nominees who will, if confirmed, impact administration policy on Big Tech, space, cryptocurrency, slashing government waste, and the economy.
Several are new faces, while others are returning from the first term.
Here’s a look at the announced nominations and appointees and how they could affect the Trump agenda in the next four years.
Counsel for DOGE
Days after the election, Trump had previously named William McGinley to be incoming White House counsel. But on Wednesday, Trump announced McGinley would be counsel to the Department of Government Efficiency, an advisory body that will work on cutting costs.
“Bill will work with Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, and their team of incredible pioneers at DOGE, to rebuild a U.S. Government that truly serves the People,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.
