    Joe Kent, twice an unsuccessful congressional candidate in south-west Washington state and a former Green Beret and CIA operative, has also been criticized for his proximity to white nationalist activists such as Nick Fuentes, and for the revolving cast of far-right activists his campaigns employed.

    If appointed as director of the National Counterterrorism Center, he will work under Trump’s director of national intelligence nominee, Tulsi Gabbard, in one of the most important intelligence roles in the administration.…….



     
    Donald Trump has announced that an atmospheric scientist at the center of the infamous “Sharpiegate” controversy will lead the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

    Neil Jacobs led NOAA on an acting basis for part of the president’s first term, including in September 2019 when Trump appeared to use a marker to alter an official National Hurricane Center map to incorrectly show that Hurricane Dorian would hit Alabama.

    Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee to be FBI director, was paid $25,000 last year by a film company owned by a Russian national who also holds U.S. citizenship and has produced programs promoting “deep state” conspiracy theories and anti-Western views advanced by the Kremlin, according to a financial disclosure formPatel submitted as part of his nomination process and other documents.

    Documents obtained by The Washington Post show that Patel received the money from Global Tree Pictures, a Los Angeles-based company run by Igor Lopatonok, a filmmaker whose previous projects include a pro-Russian influence campaign that received money from a fund created by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
