The Hill: Trump names several picks for State Department roles

The Hill - Trump names several picks for State Department roles

by Lauren Irwin - 12/08/24 9:25 PM ET

President-elect Trump named several high-level picks for the State Department on Sunday.

In several posts on Truth Social, Trump shared the new positions to work under his nominated Secretary of State Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).

Michael Anton will be Trump’s Director of Policy Planning in the department, Trump shared.

“Michael has served me loyally and effectively at the National Security Council in my First Term,” Trump posted. “He has an extensive background in Government, the private sector, and academia.”

Trump noted that Anton served the last eight years “explaining what an America First foreign policy truly means.”

…a former speechwriter for Rupert Murdoch,[6] Rudy Giuliani, and Condoleezza Rice, and worked as director of communications at the investment bank Citigroup and as managing director of investing firm BlackRock.[7][3]

I wonder if he’s the one who told Rice to say, “we can’t wait for the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud?” Just curious.
