So, President-elect Trump is gearing up for round two and he’s not playing around. He’s assembling a dream team of conservative heavyweights, and guess who just got a major role? Yup, it’s none other than civil rights attorney and Fox News contributor Leo Terrell!
Terrell’s stepping in as Senior Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the Department of Justice. He’ll be working under Harmeet K. Dhillon, who is also Trump’s pick for Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights. Talk about a powerhouse duo that might just shake things up in one of the DOJ’s most watched divisions.
Trump took to Truth Social (classic) to announce this appointment, calling Terrell a “highly respected civil rights attorney and political analyst.” He wasn’t shy about it either—Trump declared that “Leo will be a fantastic advocate for the American people,” pointing out his solid track record in law and dedication to equal treatment. And let’s not forget, Terrell has an impressive law degree from UCLA under his belt!
Now here’s where it gets interesting: Terrell wasn’t always on Team Red. He was a lifelong Democrat but made headlines back in 2020 when he switched parties because he was fed up with Democratic policies. Ever since then, he’s been one of Trump’s loudest cheerleaders on Fox News, passionately discussing everything from police reform to social justice issues.
When the news broke about his new gig, Terrell shared his excitement in a heartfelt video on X (formerly Twitter). He confirmed he’d be leaving Fox News—yup, that chapter is closed! In typical Terrell style, he expressed gratitude towards the network for letting him engage in tough national discussions over the past four years. “You gave me the opportunity to debate…the issues facing this great country,” he said while praising Fox as “one of the best…news organizations ever.”
So what does this all mean? Well, with Terrell’s legal chops and media presence on board, we could see some significant changes at the DOJ—especially concerning how they tackle civil rights issues moving forward. Expect a focus on protecting constitutional freedoms and pushing back against what many conservatives view as government overreach related to identity politics.
In short? Buckle up! It looks like Trump is ready to reshape Washington once again with some serious firepower by his side. Let’s keep an eye on how this unfolds!
