Among Trump's choices were former national security adviser Gen. Michael Flynn and Charlie Kirk, who lacks a college degree and any military experience.

Trump confirmed Montana Sen. Tim Sheehy; former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer; former White House physician Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas); and the president’s body man Walt Nauta, who was federally indicted alongside the president in the classified documents case, will sit on the Naval Academy’s board of visitors.

President Trump announced Monday that a slew of allies would be appointed to the boards of visitors at the nation’s military academies, including lawmakers and conservative media personalities.
