MAGA lawmaker and former Green Beret tapped for Trump's national security adviser: report

President-elect Donald Trump reportedly tapped a MAGA lawmaker Monday to be his next national security adviser.

Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) was selected for Trump's first of many national security roles, CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins reported Monday evening. The role is the president's primary advisor on national security issues and foreign policy matters.

"He was the first Green Beret to ever serve in Congress," she noted. "Now he will be serving right in the West Wing with Donald Trump obviously navigating some very difficult geopolitical conflicts."

That includes the Russian invasion of Ukraine as well as the Israel-Hamas war.

The move comes after the congressman was seen in South Florida in recent days, and after Waltz vehemently defended Trump in recent months, including after Trump's brouhaha at Arlington National Cemetery.
