This is from December but why the secrecy? Could it be because none of them sound qualified?? More pillaging of federal funds??
I take comfort that they probably aren't getting paid either.

We Found 95 New, Undisclosed Trump Appointees
Among the latest hires: a longtime DuPont manager who is now at an EPA position that is typically not a political appointment.

We have obtained a list of 95 new Trump administration appointees made over the past six months. Following a pattern weve detailed before, many of the hires previously worked on President Donald Trumps campaign or at conservative think tanks such as the Heritage Foundation. In other cases, appointees seem to have little work experience at all.
We compiled the information from Freedom of Information Act requests and have added the appointees to our Trump Town app, which lets you search the disclosures of nearly 3,000 of them.
Here are a few of the recent appointments:
Ileana Garcia, a co-founder of the campaigns Latinas for Trump, was appointed in October as deputy press secretary in the Department of Homeland Security.
Todd Thurman, a Heritage Foundation staffer who used to write for the Daily Signal and Breitbart, was appointed as the Department of Housing and Urban Developments digital strategy specialist in September.
Antonin Scalia, the namesake grandson of the late Supreme Court justice, was appointed in September as a temporary assistant in the State Department. Scalia graduated from college last year. Scalia and the State Department did not respond to ProPublicas requests for comments.
