President Donald Trump announced three new members of his administration on Sunday, including Judge Jason Reding Qui?ones, who the president has nominated as the next U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida.

"A former Federal prosecutor and Justice Department National Security Official, Judge Reding Qui?ones currently serves as a highly respected State Trial Judge in Miami, and a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force Reserve," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. "As the next U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Judge Reding Qui?ones will restore Law and Order, prosecute violent crimes and, MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN."

Along with Qui?ones, the president announced that Jim Byron will serve as the senior advisor to the acting national archivist, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

Having already worked with the NARA, Trump said Byron understands the responsibility that goes into preserving the country’s history.
