President-elect Donald Trump has picked his former consultant to lead a new environmental advisory effort, Trump announced Friday on social media.
Ed Russo, who served as a longtime environmental consultant for Trump’s businesses, “will lead our Environmental Advisory Task Force, which will advise my Administration on initiatives to create great jobs and protect our natural resources, by following my policy of CLEAN AIR and CLEAN WATER,” Trump announced.
Russo wrote a book published in 2016 titled, “Donald J. Trump: An Environmental Hero.”
