Pence Adviser’s Biggest Fear in New Trump Presidency: A Cabinet With Bannon, Flynn
Former national security adviser Olivia Troye warned Trump can skirt Senate confirmation and name former aides charged with crimes whom he pardoned
Former national security adviser to former Vice President Mike Pence, Olivia Troye, revealed that her biggest fear linked to another Trump administration is who he'll appoint to his cabinet.
She worries about people like one-time White House strategist Steve Bannon and short-time Trump National Security Adviser Mike Flynn — both charged with crimes then pardoned by Trump — and Kash Patel, who has written a children's book about "King Trump."
Trump learned from his first term that he can place people in "acting" positions without Senate confirmation, Troye warned in an MSNBC interview Saturday.
"Who knows what you will get ... at the heads of our defense community, and across the government, and I also worry for the federal work force," she warned, raising the names of Bannon, Flynn and Patel.
Troye resigned from the White House in August 2020 and became a prominent critic of Trump, endorsing President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
