Donald Trump is shaking up the Justice Department before even taking the oath of office, proving that he hasn’t lost a step since the chaotic years of the last administration. His latest nomination, Harmeet Dhillon, is a powerhouse from the Republican National Committee, set to be the Assistant U.S. Attorney General in the civil rights division. If her Senate confirmation goes smoothly, Dhillon will bring much-needed integrity to an agency that has often been referred to as the “Russia collusion police” in recent years.
Trump made the announcement via Truth Social like a true social media maestro. He emphasized Dhillon’s impressive track record as a champion for civil rights, election integrity, and an outspoken opponent of pandemic lockdowns. While appointments like attorney general tend to grab the headlines, Dhillon’s role might just be the secret weapon to ensure that Trump’s agenda doesn’t fall victim to the same legal traps that ensnared him before.
Having the experience to back her up, Dhillon boasts an impressive legal pedigree. Armed with a degree from Virginia Law School and previous clerkship with the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, she knows her way around the courtroom. But let’s be real—her most glorious credentials might just be her fierce commitment to fighting back against Big Tech’s stranglehold on free speech and her willingness to defend Christians facing cancel culture during the pandemic. For those weary of the mainstream press and bureaucracies, Dhillon represents a refreshing alternative.

Her time at the RNC was not without drama. She made waves at the committee level by challenging former chair Ronna McDaniel in a bid to shake up the status quo. While Trump may have given his unofficial support to McDaniel, the MAGA movement rallied behind Dhillon, who had a vision for a leaner and meaner RNC. Though she lost that battle, she opted for unity over division, reminding everyone that coming together is just the first of many steps needed for success—classic Dhillon, always a team player.
In another bold move, Trump endorsed K.C. Crosbie to be the next chair of the RNC, signaling that he is not just interested in cleaning house at the Justice Department, but also in bolstering party leadership. Crosbie is positioned as a staunch advocate for election integrity, which many conservatives see as a non-negotiable platform issue. With both Dhillon and Crosbie in the mix, it appears that the new administration is gearing up to not just play the game, but to fundamentally change the way it is played—one appointment at a time.
