Kimberly Guilfoyle joining Trump campaign as senior adviser

 

Former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle is joining President Trump's 2020 campaign as a senior adviser.

Trump's campaign announced the move on Monday, saying in a statement that it is "assembling a world class team of talented individuals to help re-elect Trump."

“President Trump has a clear record of accomplishments and promises kept as he continues to Make America Great Again," Trump's 2020 campaign manager, Brad Parscale, said. "These exceptional additions to the re-election effort will help us take our case to the voters and ensure victory.”

Guilfoyle, who is also the girlfriend of Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., most recently served as the Vice Chairwoman of America First Action, a pro-Trump Super PAC.

Mattis ignored orders from Trump, White House on North Korea, Iran: report

 

Former Defense Secretary James Mattis declined to carry out orders from President Trump or otherwise limited his options in various attempts to prevent tensions with North Korea, Iran and Syria from escalating, The New Yorker reported Monday, the latest account of Trump’s own officials trying to check his worst instincts.

"The president thinks out loud. Do you treat it like an order? Or do you treat it as part of a longer conversation? We treated it as part of a longer conversation," a former senior national security official told The New Yorker.

"We prevented a lot of bad things from happening."

In 2017, following a series of North Korean ballistic missile tests, Trump ordered the Pentagon to begin removing the spouses and children of military personnel from South Korea, where the U.S. military has a base. An administration official told the magazine that "Mattis just ignored" the order.

 

In another instance in the fall of 2017, as White House officials were planning a private meeting at Camp David to develop military options for a possible conflict with North Korea, Mattis allegedly stopped the gathering from happening. He ignored a request from then-national security adviser H.R. McMaster to send officers and planners, according to a former senior administration official.

The accounts, included in a profile of national security adviser John Bolton, reveal that the former Marine Corps general routinely sought to downplay any potential conflicts across the globe.

Mattis resigned from his Pentagon position last December, one day after Trump announced that he would withdraw troops from Syria, a decision Mattis opposed.
