Time for a couple of more questionable hires (or, in this case, attempts to hire....)
From: CNN Rich Higgins, a former aide who says he was fired from the National Security Council in 2017 for sending a conspiratorial memo, is currently being considered to serve as chief of staff to retired Brig.

Higgins, who served in the Army and later in the Pentagon as a career official in the Bush and Obama administrations...was fired from the NSC in 2017 after authoring a memo claiming that a "deep state" band of officials and movements were opposing President Donald Trump.
...
The White House nominated Tata to become the third highest official at the Pentagon in June, but his nomination has come under scrutiny since CNN reported that the retired general pushed conspiracy theories and made anti-Muslim comments on social media...
I know Trump has been out of office for Months. But, it is always nice to get a reminder of just how successful he was in picking the right people to work for him...
From: NBC News
Tom Barrack, who chaired former President Donald Trump’s 2017 inaugural committee, was arrested Tuesday on charges that he unlawfully influenced the foreign policy positions of the campaign and administration to advance the interests of the United Arab Emirates, the Department of Justice said....Barrack was also charged with obstruction of justice and making multiple false statements to federal law enforcement agents.
A Trump "friend" and supporter arrested on charges of illegally acting as a foreign agent to try and influence policy? OH, NO! I'M SHOCKED!!!!!!!!!!! Barrack is out of luck as far as getting a pardon. Poor guy.
