Trump has installed hundreds of his own spies inside the US gov't. ProPublica has a list...
We have obtained a list of more than 400 Trump administration hires, including dozens of lobbyists and some from far-right media.
A Trump campaign aide who argues that Democrats committed ethnic cleansing in a plot to liquidate the white working class. A former reality show contestant whose study of societal collapse inspired him to invent a bow-and-arrow-cum-survivalist multi-tool. A pair of healthcare industry lobbyists. A lobbyist for defense contractors. An evangelist and lobbyist for Palantir, the Silicon Valley company with close ties to intelligence agencies. And a New Hampshire Trump supporter who has only recently graduated from high school.
These are some of the people the Trump administration has hired for positions across the federal government, according to documents received by ProPublica through public-records requests.
While President Trump has not moved to fill many jobs that require Senate confirmation, he has quietly installed hundreds of officials to serve as his eyes and ears at every major federal agency, from the Pentagon to the Department of Interior.
Unlike appointees exposed to the scrutiny of the Senate, members of these so-called beachhead teams have operated largely in the shadows, with the White House declining to publicly reveal their identities.
While some names have previously dribbled out in the press,
we are publishing a list of more than 400 hires, providing the most complete accounting so far of who Trump has brought into the federal government.
