President Donald Trump has announced he will appoint former Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell to a position on the Holocaust Memorial Council.
The appointment is one of 42 that the outgoing president is making to reward close friends and loyal allies before he exits in January.
In addition to Grenell, former Florida Attorney General and campaign surrogate Pam Bondi has been named a member of the Board of Trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts; longtime aide and advisor Hope Hicks will be a member of the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board; and Marcus Bachmann, the husband of former Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), will be a member of the President’s Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities.
