Who recommended him to the Trump campaign?
Jeff Sessions?
Led by Alabama Republican Senator Jeff Sessions, Trump’s advisory team includes former Defence Department inspector general Joe Schmitz and Lebanon-born counterterrorism expert Walid Phares, both of whom are critics of US President Barack Obama’s foreign and domestic policies on Muslims. Others include retired US Army lieutenant general Joseph Kellogg, who served in Iraq in 2003 and 2004, the managing partner of Global Energy Capital, Carter Page, a former investment banker who graduated from the US Naval Academy, and energy consultant George Papadopoulos, who graduated from college seven years ago, according to Trump campaign officials.
