As the January 20th inauguration approaches, President-elect Trump has made a series of Cabinet selections and the Senate confirmation process has begun.

The Department of Justice appointed Leo Terrell, a civil rights attorney and former Planet Chronicle contributor, as senior counsel to the assistant attorney general for civil rights.

Leo is a highly respected civil rights attorney and political analyst who received his law degree from the University of California, Los Angeles, and has defended many high-profile cases throughout his incredibly successful career.

"Leo will be an exceptional representative for the American public and guarantee our country's greatness once more!"

Trump announced Christine Toretti as his choice for ambassador to Sweden on Thursday evening. He stated that Toretti is a successful businesswoman, philanthropist, public servant, and RNC Committeewoman.

Christine is a former director of the Pittsburgh Federal Reserve Bank and has served as Chairman of S&T Bancorp. She has also been a tireless supporter of important causes as a Board Member of the International Medical Corps, former Chair of the Andy Warhol Museum, Director of the NCAA Foundation, founding Director of the Gettysburg Foundation, Trustee of the Sarah Scaife Foundation, and Chair of the Anne B. Anstine Excellence in Public Service Series in Pennsylvania, and the Dodie Londen Excellence in Public Service Series in Arizona.

"Christine is among a select group of fewer than sixty women to receive the Athena International Global Award."

The Department of Veterans Affairs appointed retired Army Capt. Sam Brown as its new Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs.

"Trump announced that Sam, an American HERO and Purple Heart recipient from Nevada, will continue his service to our Great Nation at the VA. He will work tirelessly to ensure that America's Veterans are put first and that all who served are remembered. Sam fearlessly proved his love for our country in the Army, leading troops in battle in Afghanistan and helping veterans get access to emergency medications after being honorably retired as a Captain."

As Trump finalizes his Cabinet selections, nominations are being announced.

Soon, the U.S. Senate, controlled by Republicans, will commence hearings on Trump's Cabinet picks.

Once Senator-elect Jim Justice of West Virginia is sworn in and Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine appoints a senator to fill Vice President-elect Vance's seat, Republicans will have 53 seats in the Senate while Democrats will have 47.
