President-elect Trump dropped his latest round of nominations on Saturday afternoon, naming two picks to help lead the Department of Justice (DOJ) and one to serve within the Ministry of Transport (POINT).
In a Truth Social post, the president-elect announced he was nominating Aaron Reitz to lead the DOJ’s Office of Legal Policy (OLP). Trump wrote that Reitz would “develop and implement DOJ’s battle plans to advance my Law and Order Agenda and restore the integrity of our justice system.”
“Aaron currently serves as Senator Ted Cruz’s chief of staff, and previously served as deputy to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, where he led dozens of successful lawsuits against the lawless and corrupt Biden administration,” Trump continued, adding that Reitz closely would work with Trump’s pick for US Attorney General Pam Bondi.
“Aaron is a true MAGA attorney, a fighter for our Constitution, and will do an excellent job at DOJ. Congratulations Aaron!”

Trump followed up his initial announcement by appointing Chad Mizelle as the next chief of staff at the DOJ, who will also work with Bondi.
“During my first term, Chad served as General Counsel and Chief of Staff at the Department of Homeland Security, where he helped secure our border and stem the flow of illegal drugs and aliens into our country,” the Republican leader explained.
