(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) President-elect Donald Trump recently nominated one of the Fox News personalities, Leo Terrell, for a job at the Justice Department.
“I am pleased to announce that Leo Terrell will be Senior Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights in the United States Department of Justice,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
He then wrote that Terrel would work alongside another of his picks, “Harmeet K. Dhillon, a fellow Californian and our incredible Nominee for the United States Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights in the Justice Department.”
Throughout her career, Harmeet has stood up consistently to protect our cherished Civil Liberties, including taking on Big Tech for censoring our Free Speech, representing Christians who were prevented from praying together during COVID-19 and suing corporations who use woke policies to discriminate against their workers,” Trump wrote in one of his previous posts in which he nominated Dhillon for this position.

Terrell responded to the recent news by thanking Fox News for employing him and Trump for hiring him.
