Trump Installed His Own ‘Deep State’

“As president, Donald Trump railed against the ‘deep state’ working within the federal government to undermine his presidency,” NBC News reports.

“But before he left office, he quietly embedded dozens of his own political appointees in career government positions and appointed other loyalists to influential boards and groups — one of the final, but possibly most enduring, ways he attempted to remake Washington in his own image.”

“Now, President Joe Biden’s administration is trying to root out some of those government employees, seeking to rid the broader federal bureaucracy of Trump loyalists who could hinder his agenda.”
