Trump nominates loyalist to office that would oversee Reflecting Pool review

Trump has nominated Dennis Kirk, a key figure in Project 2025 and former staffer for then-Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, to head the Interior Department's inspector general office. This office could potentially oversee a review of the Reflecting Pool, a significant site in Washington D.C. This move underscores Trump's inclination to appoint loyalists who align with his agenda, raising questions about the future direction and oversight of federal projects and policies. It also highlights the ongoing influence of Trump's supporters in key governmental roles.
