“He is a strong advocate for protecting American workers,” Trump added. …

“Stephen Miller is the best person President-elect Donald Trump could have chosen to be his senior adviser for policy,” Sessions said, adding that he possesses “a unique understanding of very real and honest concerns of the American people.” …

Trump also named Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson to the Cabinet-level secretary of state position on Tuesday and is expected to tap former Texas Gov. Rick Perry for energy secretary this week.
