President Trump Announces Appointments to the Homeland Security Advisory Council, Including Mayor Rudy Guiliani

Today,  President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced the appointment of new members to the Homeland Security Advisory Council.  The Council provides the “Secretary of Homeland Security with real-time, real-world and independent advice on homeland security operations.”

One new member of the Council jumped out at me:  Disbarred attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani, Former Mayor, New York City.

An ardent supporter of President Trump, Guiliani has often been at the center of controversy.  Newsweek reports on the latest.  “Democrats calling for President Donald Trump to be impeached over the U.S.’s military strikes on Iran should be `tried for treason,’ Rudy Giuliani has said.”  Guiliani made the comment on Newsmax‘s Sunday Agenda after Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) criticized Trump’s decision to bomb Iran as “clearly grounds for impeachment.”

The Homeland Security Advisory Council is chaired by Henry McMaster, Governor of South Carolina.  The Vice Chair is Joseph Gruters, State Senator, Florida.
