Trump’s New Team
Kash Patel, 45
Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation BEFORE: U.S. chief technology oficer and national security oficial during Donald Trump’s first term NOTABLE QUOTE: “The American people deserve an FBI that is transparent, accountable, and committed to justice.” Patel began his legal career as a public defender in Florida,
representing clients in complex criminal cases ranging from narcotics traficking to financial crimes. He later transitioned to the Department of Justice’s National
Security Division as a trial attorney, where he served as a legal liaison to the Joint Special Operations Command. As a senior counsel to House intelligence, Patel was
instrumental in challenging investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Patel has emphasized his commitment to restoring public
trust in the FBI by enhancing transparency and accountability. He pledged to depoliticize the bureau and focus on its core mission of upholding justice and national security.
Linda McMahon, 76
U.S. Secretary of Education BEFORE: Cofounder and former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE); administrator of the Small Business Administration (2017–2019) NOTABLE QUOTE: “I do believe that it is a responsibility to make sure that our children do have equal access to excellent education. I think that that is best handled at the state level.”
The McMahon family
and Donald Trump have maintained a close
friendship since the late 1980s, when Trump hosted several WrestleMania events at his Atlantic City casinos. McMahon has articulated
a vision for the department that centers on reducing federal oversight and empowering state and local authorities. She wants to reorient the
department toward “helping educators, not controlling them,” beef up teaching of math and reading, and to “return education to the states, where it belongs.” McMahon’s approach aligns with Trump’s agenda to dismantle the department, while acknowledging that such a significant restructuring would require congressional approval.
APRIL 2025 | NEWSMAX 51
Pete Hegseth, 44
U.S. Secretary of Defense BEFORE: Former Army National Guard oficer, Fox News host, and advocate for veterans affairs NOTABLE QUOTE: “The dumbest phrase on planet Earth in the military is ‘our diversity is our strength.’” Hegseth was sworn in with the help of Vice President JD Vance,
who cast the tiebreaking 51-50 vote. As defense secretary, he has emphasized the need to
strengthen the military by addressing fiscal waste within the Department of Defense and reshaping it to prioritize combat readiness and operational eficiency. His tenure has already been marked by significant policy
shifts, including the dismissal of top military oficials associated with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. He played a pivotal role in the removal of Gen. Charles Q.
Brown Jr., the second African American to serve as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, criticizing DEI programs as detrimental to military effectiveness.
