President-elect Trump on Sunday nominated Harmeet K. Dhillon to serve as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the Department of Justice.
Trump said Dhillon has consistently protected civil liberties throughout her career, including taking on Big Tech for censoring free speech, representing Christians who were barred from praying together during the COVID-19 pandemic, and by suing companies that use “woke policies” to discriminate against their employees. .
“Harmeet is one of the best election lawyers in the country and is fighting to ensure that all, and ONLY, legal votes are counted,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “She is a graduate of Dartmouth College and the University of Virginia Law School and clerked for the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.”
“Harmeet is a respected member of the Sikh religious community,” he added. “In her new role at the DOJ, Harmeet will be a tireless defender of our constitutional rights and FAIRLY and FIRMLY enforce our civil rights and election laws.”

Trump also wrote in a separate post that Mark Paoletta will return as general counsel of the Office of Management and Budget.
In this role, Trump said, Paoletta will work closely with the Department of Government Efficiency to reduce the size of “our bloated government bureaucracy and root out wasteful and anti-American spending.”
Trump called Paoletta a brilliant and tenacious lawyer and credited him with his efforts to advance his agenda in the first term while leading efforts to find funding to build a wall on the southern border.

Mark is a partner at the law firm Shaerr Jaffe LLP and a senior fellow at the Center for Renewing America.
“Mark served for ten years as Chief Counsel for Oversight and Investigations in Congress and was a key attorney in the White House Counsel’s Office to confirm Judge Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1991,” Trump wrote. “Mark is a conservative warrior who knows the ins and outs of government – he will help us make America great again!”
And finally, Trump announced that KC Crosbie is running to become the next co-chair of the Republican National Committee to replace Lara Trump.

“Lara, along with Chairman Michael Whatley, have transformed the RNC into a lean, focused and powerful machine that will power the MAGA movement for years to come,” the president-elect said. “Thank you for your hard work, Lara, in MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
The new president also said Crosbie was “real” Republicans are elected in the US and would make a great co-chair.
