President-elect Trump announced the addition of 10 new transition staff and executive committee members on Thursday, adding former “Apprentice” contestant Omarosa Manigault and Oracle CEO Safra Catz to the team.
Trump announced he had elevated Bryan Lanza, a Citizens United alum who joined David Bossie in departing the conservative group for the campaign in June, to the role of deputy communications director for the transition team. Lanza formerly oversaw the campaign’s surrogate operation.
