For­mer Repub­li­can U.S. Sen. Kel­ly Loef­fler of Geor­gia is also tapped to lead the Small Busi­ness Admin­is­tra­tion (SBA). Loef­fler has an exten­sive career in finance and tech­nol­o­gy and is expect­ed to dri­ve ini­tia­tives that bol­ster small busi­ness­es and min­i­mize gov­ern­ment waste.

For­mer Repub­li­can U.S. Rep. Bil­ly Long of Mis­souri is also nom­i­nat­ed as the com­mis­sion­er of the Inter­nal Rev­enue Ser­vice (IRS).

David A. War­ring­ton is appoint­ed as assis­tant to the pres­i­dent and coun­sel to the pres­i­dent. War­ring­ton, Trump’s for­mer cam­paign legal coun­sel and a respect­ed con­ser­v­a­tive fig­ure, will over­see the Office of White House Coun­sel.

Trump said McGin­ley will focus on reduc­ing exces­sive reg­u­la­tions, curb­ing gov­ern­ment spend­ing, and elim­i­nat­ing waste, while work­ing close­ly with the White House and the Office of Man­age­ment and Bud­get to stream­line fed­er­al oper­a­tions.

Trump has nom­i­nat­ed Gail Slater as assis­tant attor­ney gen­er­al for the Antitrust Divi­sion of the Depart­ment of Jus­tice. Trump said that under Slater’s lead­er­ship, the DOJ will con­tin­ue to com­bat the over­whelm­ing mar­ket dom­i­nance of Big Tech, which he claims has sup­pressed com­pe­ti­tion and infringed on con­sumer rights.

Trump also heaped prais­es on and con­grat­u­lat­ed Frank Bisig­nano and tapped him to be com­mis­sion­er of the Social Secu­ri­ty Admin­is­tra­tion.
