One of the early clues about how Donald Trump will govern as president is who he selects for his transition team. Incoming vice-president Mike Pence will chair the team after initially being led by Chris Christie, and there are many familiar names on the transition team, including Rudy Giuliani, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Steve Bannon, Peter Thiel and the Trump children. But who are the new players who will help lay the foundation for the Trump presidency? The Daily Wire has you covered.
Mike Rogers. Rogers served as a Republican congressman from 2001 to 2015, and has provided national security commentary on CNN since then. He is reportedly leading the Trump transition team on national security issues and “is being considered for both national security advisor and assistant to the president for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism,” according to The Daily Caller. The Rogers pick has stirred up a little controversy, as he produced a Benghazi report in 2014 that was critical of the 13 Hours book and many members of the committee vehemently disagreed with Rogers’ findings. In short, it is a surprising pick given Trump’s criticism of Hillary Clinton’s handling of the Benghazi terror attacks in 2012.
