, the former head of the National Nuclear Security Administration who resigned recently, and Michael Pillsbury, a China expert at the Hudson Institute, to the board.The Pentagon removed nearly a dozen members of the panel in November, including Madeleine Albright and Henry Kissinger, along with former Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Foreign Policy first reported.in a surprise move and installed several Trump allies, including David Bossie and Corey Lewandowski.

"These incoming members bring extensive defense and national security affairs experience to this advisory committee from their time in Congress, the State Department, our armed forces and beyond," Miller said.However, it's not clear when the individuals will officially become members of the Defense Policy Board.
banana republic😨
Mr Biden will be signing a lot of notices of termination in the first couple of days of his presidency, I guess...😜
These are what 5 week appointments? They’re all getting canned on January 20
Go away
Gingrich is a arrogant Pompous self absorbed sociopathic liar like trump. Biden will immediately fire him after January 20th
Just who at 'The Pentagon' was involved in this decision?
Chicken hawk
Sounds like the Pentagon is ready to move against democracy.
DrainTheSwamp Start with Newt.
Grifters gonna grift
So he gets to do this for a month? Plus there's a pandemic so let's make sure they can't actually meet!
ALL TRUMP APPOINTEES SHOULD BE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS!
Hopefully an different purge is coming in January.
What happened to Gingrich in Congress? Trump sure knows how to pick’em.
I had to do a double-take to see if The Onion posted this. 🤪
He's gone January 20!
And they'll be booted in 30 days.
Biden will over turn this crap in January.
Is age requirement to board members, Gingrich is 120 years old and he is waiting for a promise son , called trump to be installed President with proud boys protests .
This is nonsense
Any appointments made by Trump from now to January 20 should be abandoned on January 20 and those appointed removed.
Sick joke!
Can someone answer if these grifters and sycophants can be removed on Jan 21?
Such BS
No more legal coup, they're about to open the physical coup.
This is just stupid. All this stupid is more justification for Biden to allow the fbi to go after all the yahoos including Bunker boy trump.
Trump did this because Newt is on his third wife too.
WTH do you have to DO to be considered undesirable in f*'%g DC? Jesus!
No, no Newt Gingrich. Refuse to have an idiot in any position of authority.
Newt's the dirtiest russiapubkicon not in Congress
They can all be purged again, if desired.
Gross
Everyone of them are assholes. It’ll be tricky to get rid of them but Biden needs to ditch’m. They’re there to set-up America for failure.
Are you kidding? This guy is lying about election fraud non stop
Well it's a good job they won't be there for long.
🙄🙄🙄
“Potential members must go through lengthy financial disclosure and security clearance process, which could take weeks or months, according to a defense official and several former defense advisory board members.”
Gingrich should not be allowed anywhere near our government.
This is just a big, funny game, eh? Not to our country.
And a month before the next purge
I'm sure that Biden will remove everyone that Trump puts in.
The cast of SNL would have been a wiser choice !
