President-elect Donald Trump has announced that he is bringing back several cabinet members from his first term to serve in his upcoming administration that will begin this month. In a series of posts on Truth Social on Saturday, Trump revealed his picks for several senior positions, emphasizing the importance of their experience, according to the New York Post.
The announcements included Steven Bradbury who has been nominated as Deputy Secretary of Transportation.

David Fotouhi has been nominated as Deputy Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, where he held a role in Trump’s first term. Paul R. Lawrence was chosen to serve as deputy secretary of Veterans Affairs. Trump stated that Lawrence would prioritize ensuring veterans receive the “respect they deserve.”
