A Trump political appointee apparently resigned (pressured?) after he made controversial Facebook posts: [https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/trump-dod-political-appointee-out-after-sharing-video-comparing-obama-to-the-antichrist-on-social-media] --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 12:22, 4 April 2018 (EDT)
:Mattis apparently (and unsurprisingly) is stalling at advancing Trump's agenda, and Trump has shut him out of important decisionmaking: [https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/jim-mattis-moves-cautiously-to-carry-out-trumps-more-controversial-policies][http://thehill.com/policy/defense/393898-mattis-shut-out-of-major-administration-decisions-report][https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/mattis-out-loop-trump-doesn-t-listen-him-say-officials-n885796] --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 09:55, 25 June 2018 (EDT)
I removed the info below from the article because the last time the media reported about Ezra Cohen-Watnick, he had still not actually been hired to the DOJ -- the hiring process is taking a long time, and I don't want to add an appointment that is still being processed. Also, Watnick appears to be a great appointment, but he's not particularly significant other than that he was strongly opposed by the establishment (which might still be significant enough). Here are some more sources: [http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/387158-ousted-nsc-staffer-cohen-watnick-is-not-employed-at-doj-despite][http://dailycaller.com/2018/05/14/exclusive-ezra-cohen-watnick-justice-department-role/] Here is the info I removed: *April 2018—[[Ezra Cohen-Watnick]], a conservative former [[National Security Council]] official, was hired as Attorney General [[Jeff Sessions]]'s national security adviser.Multiple references:
