President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday chose his top adviser on homeland security issues.
Thomas Bossert, an aide to former President George W. Bush, was appointed assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, Newsday reports.
Bossier will work with the incoming national security adviser, retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.
“We must work toward cyber doctrine that reflects the wisdom of free markets, private competition and the important but limited role of government in establishing and enforcing the rule of law,” Bossert said in a statement distributed by the transition. He also said the internet should reflect U.S. values as a “U.S. invention.”
Bossier served as deputy homeland security adviser under Bush and later ran a security consulting business.
Trump called Bossert an “invaluable asset.”
