President-elect Donald Trump has announced additional nominees for his incoming cabinet, including Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes.
On Saturday, Trump revealed that Nunes has been chosen to chair the Intelligence Advisory Board (IAB). If confirmed, Nunes will lead the board responsible for advising the president on the legality and effectiveness of foreign intelligence activities.
Trump also announced IBM executive Troy Edgar as Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security.
“Troy served for me previously as the Chief Financial Officer and Associate Deputy Under Secretary of Management for Homeland Security, where he did an outstanding job managing their $90 billion budget, resourcing critical immigration policy, and funding wall construction,” Trump said.
“Troy is currently an executive at IBM. He holds an M.B.A. and B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Southern California. He was previously the Mayor of Los Alamitos, California, where he helped me lead the city and county revolt against sanctuary cities in 2018,” Trump continued.
Edgar is expected to serve alongside South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, whom Trump has tapped to lead the Department of Homeland Security.
Additionally, Trump announced Bill White as his nominee for U.S. Ambassador to the Kingdom of Belgium.
“Bill is a highly respected businessman, philanthropist, author, and advocate for our nation’s military, veterans, and first responders. He is the CEO of Constellations Group and former President of the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum,” Trump said.
“Bill has worked tirelessly to support great American patriots who have given everything for our country, raising over $1.5 billion for our fallen heroes, catastrophically wounded, and severely burned service members. He is a two-time recipient of the Meritorious Public Service Award for extraordinary service from the U.S. Coast Guard and for outstanding support from the U.S. Navy.”
