“This distinguished group stands behind Mr. Trump because it is imperative that the U.S. has a strong leader to combat terrorism, strengthen its borders and make sure that America is safe,” a spokesperson for the Trump campaign said in a press release.
The campaign characterized the new additions as voices that offer a sharp contrast to the “Obama/Clinton Administration” that has “[wrecked] America’s credibility internationally, weakened defense capabilities and has shown great disrespect to military personnel.”
The new members will join Trump’s existing advisory council, which includes Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R).
