Trump hires another college senior for sensitive administration post
A 22-year-old Iowa State University senior set to graduate in May has been hired for a key position in the Trump administration.
Anthony Labruna is set to start on Monday as a deputy White House liaison at the Department of Commerce, the secretary's office confirmed to on Friday. In a statement, the Commerce secretary's office said it is "looking forward to Anthony joining the Department of Commerce," calling him "the right man for the job."
Labruna, whose personal Facebook page lists his age as 22, previously was a paid staffer on the field team of Trump’s 2020 Iowa campaign, where he started late fall of last year and left after the Iowa caucuses, according to an Iowa Republican who worked with him.
The hiring follows the recent hiring of 23-year-old George Washington University senior James Bacon to a top role in the White House’s Presidential Personnel Office.
Some officials have expressed dismay over Labruna's hiring, saying they are "pretty concerned" he may lack experience.
