  • President-elect Donald Trump is filling key posts in his second administration and putting an emphasis on people who were his strongest backers during the campaign.

Here is a summary of the content from the specified URL:

Former President Donald Trump, as he campaigns for a potential second term, has begun to outline his choices for key positions in his administration. His selections reflect a mix of loyalists, former administration officials, and individuals known for their controversial stances. Key figures include:

  • Mike Pompeo for a potential return to a high-level position, possibly Secretary of State or Defense, given his previous tenure in both roles.
  • John Ratcliffe might reprise his role as Director of National Intelligence, known for his staunch support of Trump.
  • Stephen Miller, a former senior advisor, is likely to return, focusing on immigration policy with his hardline views.
  • Ric Grenell could be considered for various roles, including Secretary of State or a national security position, due to his previous ambassadorship to Germany and acting roles in intelligence and foreign affairs.
  • Mark Meadows, Trump's former Chief of Staff, might be eyed for a significant role, although his involvement in the January 6 events could complicate this.
  • Jeffrey Clark, a former DOJ official, is favored for his efforts to challenge the 2020 election results, potentially in a legal or oversight role.

    These choices indicate Trump's intention to surround himself with individuals who align closely with his political ideology and personal loyalty, potentially setting the stage for a more confrontational approach to governance if he were to win back the presidency.
