According to Jonathan Swan at Axios, who has been briefed on and/or read the documents:
In reporting this story, I have been briefed on, or reviewed, memos and lists the president received since 2018 suggesting whom he should hire and fire. Most of these details have never been published. <...>
Members of this network include Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and Republican Senate staffer Barbara Ledeen.
The big picture: Since Trump's Senate acquittal, aides say the president has crossed a psychological line regarding what he calls the "Deep State." He feels his government from Justice to State to Defense to Homeland Security is filled with "snakes." He wants them fired and replaced ASAP.

Among the many repugnant things he's reporting:
Potential hires she offered to Trump, per sources with direct knowledge:
Sheriff David Clarke for a senior Homeland Security role.
Fox News regular and former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino for a Homeland Security or counterterrorism adviser role.
Devin Nunes aide Derek Harvey for the National Security Council (where he served before McMaster pushed him out).
Radio talk show host Chris Plante for press secretary.

Thus is incredible. Apparently Ginni Thomas hires through Fox also. Honestly, my faith in mankind is shriveling as I read this nonsense.
Vile woman.
