Overview

  • Trump tapped conservative figures Rudy Giuliani, Mark Levin, and Corey Lewandowski to join the reconstituted Homeland Security Advisory Council.
  • Established in 2002 and without policy recommendations since January 2025, the council is charged with offering real-time, real-world and independent homeland security guidance.
  • South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster will chair the body alongside members such as Christopher Cox to blend government and private-sector expertise.
  • Giuliani’s appointment has drawn scrutiny after his New York disbarment in July 2024 and a defamation suit loss tied to his post-2020 election challenges.
  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem co-announced the appointments in a press release highlighting the council’s renewed mandate under the America First agenda.
