Founder of Bikers for Trump scores key Homeland Security gig

President Donald Trump named some of his top supporters to the Homeland Security Advisory Council, or HSAC, and the group includes former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Bikers for Trump founder Chris Cox.

In an announcement on Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security revealed that Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem had made the selections.

"HSAC leverages the experience, expertise, and national and global connections of its membership to provide the Secretary of Homeland Security with real-time, real-world and independent advice on homeland security operations," the notice said.

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) was named as chair, and Florida state Sen. Joseph Gruters (R) was appointed vice chair.

Other notable names included actor Richard "Bo" Dietl, Fox News host Mark Levin, former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, and former Sen. Bob Smith (R-NH).

"America First HSAC will draw upon a deep well of public and private sector experience from homeland security experts committed to fulfilling President Trump's agenda," DHS said in a statement.

The group was expected to hold its first meeting on July 2.
