Priebus tapped to join Navy with support from Mattis

By John Bowden - 12/14/18 01:40 PM EST
 

Former Trump White House chief of staff Reince Priebus could join the Navy following his recommendation by Defense Secretary James Mattis and selection as a reserve officer, according to The Washington Post.

The Post reported that, according to defense officials and a memo it acquired, Mattis personally recommended Priebus be commissioned into the Naval Reserve, citing the former Trump aide's "experience, education, and personality."

“Secretary Mattis agreed to write a letter of recommendation on his behalf,” a spokesperson for Mattis told the Post. “The letter is consistent with applicable standards.”

That's fine.  Just don't give him a security clearance.
