Another One: Trump Taps Fox Contributor For DOJ Post

Politico reports:

Donald Trump has picked Fox News contributor Leo Terrell to serve as senior counsel to the assistant attorney general for civil rights in the Justice Department, Harmeet K. Dhillon.

Trump said Terrell, a civil rights attorney and talk radio host in California, will work closely alongside Dhillon, a former vice chair of the California GOP who represented the state on the Republican National Committee.

Trump called Terrell a “highly respected civil rights attorney and political analyst” and said in a statement Thursday that he will be a “fantastic advocate for the American People.” Fox News said Terrell’s contributor contract was terminated after the announcement was made.

Read the full article. Terrell appeared here yesterday when he declared that Los Angeles’s “DEI firefighters” have “no intention of putting out those fires.” By my count, Terrell is the fourteenth Fox personality named to join Trump’s administration.
