Trump followed up his first announcement by naming Chad Mizelle as the next DOJ chief of staff, who is also slated to work with Bondi.
“During my first term, Chad served as general counsel and chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security, where he helped secure our border and stop the flow of illegal and foreign drugs into our country,” he explained the republican leader.
