Trump said Tuesday his administration is in the process of “identifying and removing” more than 1,000 Biden appointees.

He began by dismissing four people: retired Gen. Mark Milley from the National Infrastructure Advisory Council; celebrity chef José Andrés from the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition; Brian Hook from the Wilson Center for Scholars; and Keisha Lance Bottoms, former mayor of Atlanta, from the President’s Export Council.

Former President Joe Biden greeted President Donald Trump at the White House in advance of Monday’s inauguration with a conciliatory gesture, telling him and first lady Melania Trump: “Welcome home.” Trump ended his first day back in that home by posting a sneering message boasting of how his team was hunting down hundreds of Biden appointees to throw out of office.

Trump’s commitment to thousands of changes is in line with his continued pledge to rid the federal government of employees he views as disloyal.

Donald Trump announced plans to remove over 1,000 appointees from Joe Biden's administration, including firing notable figures like Jose Andres and Mark Milley. This move aligns with Trump's efforts to reshape federal operations and dismantle the so-called 'deep state' during his second term.

President Donald Trump removed four holdover high-profile presidential appointees early Tuesday, using his Truth Social platform to deliver the message.
