(197,636 posts)34. Trump claims 3. NBC found 4 people total who worked in his admin
Whitaker was Acting Atty General for 3 months
NBC News reached out to 44 of the dozens of people who served in Trump's Cabinet over his term in office. Most declined to comment or ignored the requests. A total of four have said publicly they support his run for re-election. Several have been coy about where they stand, stopping short of endorsing Trump with the GOP primary race underway. Then there are those who outright oppose his bid for the GOP nomination or are adamant that they don't want him back in power.
The Trump campaign declined to comment beyond pointing to three former Cabinet members as people to contact one of whom has endorsed Trump and two others who, when asked, didn't commit to endorsing him at this time.
Those backing Trump's bid for another term include former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker; Mark Meadows, his final chief of staff; former budget chief Russell Vought; and former acting director of national intelligence Richard Grenell, who in June tweeted "Trump 2024" above a tweet from Trump's main GOP rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
