U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has tapped three senior leaders of his national security and law enforcement teams, choosing Senator Jeff Sessions for attorney general, Representative Mike Pompeo as CIA director and General Mike Flynn as national security adviser, a transition official said on Friday.
The transition official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the announcements would be made formally on Friday.
All three men have accepted Trump’s offer, the official said.
For those of you not familiar with Mike Pompeo, he seems like a fairly solid conservative based on what we’ve documented of his voting record. Conservative Review gives him a “C”, however.
Either way, I think all three picks are great.
