President-elect Trump announced on Thursday his latest batch of presumptive nominees to serve in his forthcoming administration.
Trump announced his pick of Christine Jack Toretti, Pennsylvania’s Republican National Committeewoman, to serve as his ambassador to Sweden. In his previous administration, Trump nominated Toretti to be ambassador to Malta, but she was never confirmed by the Senate.
Trump picked frequent Fox News contributor Leo Terrell to serve as senior counsel to the assistant attorney general for civil rights at the Department of Justice.
In his announcement, Trump said Terrell “is a highly respected civil rights attorney and political analyst. He received his law degree from the University of California, Los Angeles, and has defended many high profile cases throughout his incredibly successful career.”
“Leo will be a fantastic advocate for the American People, and ensure we will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump continued.
Trump also announced Sam Brown, who lost his bid to represent Nevada in the Senate, will serve as under secretary for memorial affairs at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
“Sam is an American HERO, a Purple Heart recipient, and successful businessman from Nevada, who has devoted his life to serving America. He fearlessly proved his love for our Country in the Army, while leading Troops in battle in Afghanistan and, after being honorably retired as a Captain, helping our Veterans get access to emergency medications,” he said. “Sam will now continue his service to our Great Nation at the VA, where he will work tirelessly to ensure we put America’s Veterans FIRST, and remember ALL who served.”
