Donald Trump added another strident supporter to his list of nominees for his incoming administration on Monday, announcing attorney Harmeet Dhillon, an avowed election denier and anti-woke and anti-trans activist, as his pick to lead the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice. The conservative MAGA acolyte was co-chairwoman of Lawyers for Trump, a group that challenged the results of the 2020 presidential election, and has a history of battling DEI initiatives in court. She represented anti-trans detransitioner Chloe Cole in a lawsuit against Kaiser Permanente. “Throughout her career, Harmeet has stood up consistently to protect our cherished Civil Liberties, including taking on Big Tech for censoring our Free Speech, representing Christians who were prevented from praying together during COVID, and suing corporations who use woke policies to discriminate against their workers,” Trump declared in a post on his Truth Social network.
