“During Donald Trump’s hush-money trial last spring, a string of top Republicans turned up at the Manhattan courthouse in a public show of loyalty. Now several are being tapped for his government,” Bloomberg reports.
“President-elect Trump announced the latest on Wednesday with his intention to nominate Rep. Matt Gaetz to be US attorney general.”
“Other trial attendees included Vice President-elect JD Vance, who attended the trial on May 13 and was chosen by Trump as his running mate two months later. Rep. Mike Waltz, of Florida, who has been tapped for national security adviser, also showed at the courthouse. As did Vivek Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur who was appointed to head a new ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ along with billionaire Elon Musk.”
