Donald Trump’s incoming press secretary made the announcement during a briefing Thursday.
Three of those 50 officials include big names like Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL Brett McGurk, Deputy Defense Secretary Robert O. Work and Acting Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence at the United States Department of the Treasury Adam Szubin.
Spicer noted the “high quality and caliber” of the men and women that the president-elect has nominated to his cabinet.
