Amid firings and government shake-ups, the Trump administration has repeatedly been assigning additional job roles to Cabinet members and other officials, Fox News Digital found.Secretary of State Marco Rubio was charged on May 1 with serving as Trump's national security advisor after the president announced he had nominated former National Security Council chief Mike Waltz to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.Rubio's roles in the administration now include leading the State Department; serving as acting archivist of the United States after Trump ousted a Biden-era appointee; serving as acting administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development as the admin works to dissolve the independent agency by September; and taking the helm as the interim national security advisor.But Rubio is not alone in taking on multiple roles within Trump's second administration. Fox News Digital looks back on the various Trump Cabinet members and officials who are wearing multiple hats as the president works to realign the federal government to track with his "America First" policies.TRUMP TOUTS 'MOST SUCCESSFUL' FIRST 100 DAYS IN PRESIDENTIAL HISTORY DURING MICHIGAN RALLYRubio and the Trump administration have come under fire from Democrats for the secretary of state holding multiple high-profile roles in the second administration, including Democrats sounding off on the national security council shake-up on Sunday news shows."Theres no way he can do that and do it well, especially since theres such incompetence over at DOD with Pete Hegseth being secretary of defense and just the hollowing out of the top leadership," Illinois Democrat Sen. Tammy Duckworth said on CBSs "Face the Nation." "Theres no way he can carry all that entire load on his own."TRUMP TO TAP NEW NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR IN 6 MONTHS; CALLS WALTZ MOVE UPGRADE"I dont know how anybody could do these two big jobs," Democrat Virginia Sen. Mark Warner said Sunday on CNNs "State of the Union."When asked about the trend of Trump officials wearing multiple work hats, the White House reflected in comment to Fox News Digital on former President Joe Biden's "disaster of a Cabinet.""Democrats cheered on Joe Bidens disaster of a Cabinet as it launched the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, opened the southern border to migrant criminals, weaponized the justice system against political opponents, and more," White House spokesperson Anna Kelly told Fox News Digital. "President Trump has filled his administration with many qualified, talented individuals he trusts to manage many responsibilities."The Trump administration has previously brushed off concern over Rubio holding multiple roles, most notably juggling both his State Department leadership and serving as acting national security advisor. Similarly, former President Richard Nixon in 1973 named then-National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger to simultaneously serve as secretary of state."You need a team player who is very honest with the president and the senior team, not someone trying to build an empire or wield a knife or drive their own agenda. He is singularly focused on delivering the presidents agenda," an administration official told Politico.Rubio's multiple national security roles come as war continues between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Gaza, and recently launched attacks from India on Pakistan."I am monitoring the situation between India and Pakistan closely," Rubio said in a Tuesday X post. "I echo @POTUS's comments earlier today that this hopefully ends quickly and will continue to engage both Indian and Pakistani leadership towards a peaceful resolution."As Rubio juggles multiple roles, the Trump administration's foreign policies have closely involved special envoys, most notably Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy to the Middle East.TRUMP NOMINATES WALTZ FOR HIGH-LEVEL POST AFTER OUSING HIM AS NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISORWitkoff is a former real estate tycoon and longtime ally of Trump's whose focus in the Trump administration has been on negotiating with Russia amid its war against Ukraine and leading talks with Iran regarding its nuclear program. Witkoff was notably credited with helping secure the release of U.S. schoolteacher Marc Fogel from a Russian prison in February.Fox News Digital reached out to the State Department for comment on Rubio's multiple roles but did not receive a response.FBI Director Kash Patel, who railed against the "deep state" and vowed to strip corruption from the federal law enforcement agency ahead of his confirmation, was briefly charged with overseeing the of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in February after the Biden-era director resigned in January.Patel was later replaced by Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll as acting ATF director in a job change that was publicly reported in April.ARMY SECRETARY DAN DRISCOLL TO LEAD ATF, REPLACING FBI DIRECTOR KASH PATEL"Director Kash Patel was briefly designated ATF director while awaiting Senate confirmations, a standard, short-term move. Dozens of similar re-designations have occurred across the federal government," the White House told Reuters in April. "Director Patel is now excelling in his role at the FBI and delivering outstanding results."Driscoll was sworn in as the 26th secretary of the Army in February. The secretary of the army is a senior-level civilian official charged with overseeing the management of the Army and also acts as an advisor to the secretary of defense in matters related to the Army.It was reported in April that Driscoll was named acting ATF director, replacing Patel in that role.NEW ARMY SECRETARY PRAISES TRUMP, HEGSETH FOR CREATING 'A LANE FOR CHANGE' AS HE ZEROES IN ON CUTTING WASTE"Mr. Driscoll is responsible for the oversight of the agencys mission to protect communities from violent criminals, criminal organizations, and the illegal trafficking of firearms, explosives, and contraband. Under his leadership, the ATF works to enforce federal laws, ensure public safety, and provide critical support in the investigation of firearms-related crimes and domestic and international criminal enterprises," his ATF biography reads.Ahead of Trump taking office, Republican Reps. Eric Burlison of Missouri and Lauren Boebert of Colorado introduced legislation to abolish the ATF, saying the agency has worked to strip Second Amendment rights from U.S. citizens.The ATF has been tasked with assisting the Department of Homeland Security in its deportation efforts under the Trump administration.Former Georgia Republican Rep. Doug Collins was sworn-in as the Trump administration's secretary of Veterans Affairs in February, a Cabinet-level position tasked with overseeing the department and its mission of providing health, education and financial benefits to military veterans.Days after his confirmation as VA secretary, Trump tapped Collins to temporarily lead two oversight agencies: the Office of Government Ethics and the Office of Special Counsel.VA SECRETARY ACCUSES REPORTER OF SPREADING 'RUMORS' ABOUT DOGE THAT HURT VETERANS IN TENSE CLASHThe Office of Government Ethics is charged with overseeing the executive branch's ethics program, including setting ethics standards for the government and monitoring ethics compliance across federal agencies and departments.The Office of Special Counsel is charged with overseeing and protecting the federal government's merit system, most notably ensuring federal whistleblowers don't face retaliation for sounding the alarm on an issue they've experienced. The office also has an established secure channel to allow federal employees to blow the whistle on alleged wrongdoing.The Office of Special Counsel also enforces the Hatch Act, which bansexecutive branch staffers, except the president and vice president,from engaging in certain forms of political activity.Trump named his former director of the Office of Management and Budget under his first administration, Russell Vought, to the same role in his second administration. Vought was confirmed as the federal government's budget chief in February.Days later, Vought was also named the acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). RUSS VOUGHT, TAPPED AS CFPB'S ACTING DIRECTOR, DIRECTS BUREAU TO ISSUE NO NEW RULES, STOP NEW INVESTIGATIONSThe CFPB is an independent government agency charged with protecting consumers from unfair financial practices in the private sector. It was created in 2010 under the Obama administration after the financial crash in 2008. Democrat Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren originally proposed and advocated for the creation of the agency.The CFPB came under fierce investigation from the Department of Government Efficiency in February, with mass terminations rocking the agency before the reduction in force initiative was tied up in court.President Donald Trump's former ambassador to Germany and acting director of national intelligence under his first term, a pair of roles held at separate times in the first administration, currently serves as president of the Kennedy Center and special presidential envoy for special missions of the United States.GRENELL DEVELOPING 'COMMONSENSE' PLAN TO TURN KENNEDY CENTER FINANCIALS AROUNDThe John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts serves as the national cultural center of the U.S. Trump notably serves as the center's chair of the board, with Grenell saying the center will see a "golden age" of the arts during Trump's second administration through productions and concerts that Americans actually want to see after years of the performing arts center running in the red.Trump named Grenell as his special presidential envoy for special missions to the United States in December before his inauguration, saying Grenell will "workin some of the hottest spots around the world, includingVenezuela and North Korea."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPIn this role, Grenell helped lead the administration through its response to the wildfires that tore through Southern California in the last days of the Biden administration through the beginning days of the Trump administration.Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment on the administration officials working multiple high-profile roles as opposed to appointing or nominating other qualified individuals but did not receive a response.

Axios reporter Alex Thompson remarked Thursday that members of the Biden White House would "disagree" with President Joe Biden's assertion that claims about his mental decline were false.During an interview on "The View," President Joe Biden and his wife Jill were asked about new books from Democratic sources that claimed there was a "dramatic decline" in the presidents mental faculties during the later part of his term."They are wrong," Joe Biden responded. "Theres nothing to sustain that."Jill Biden added, "One of the things, I think, is that the people who wrote those books were not in the White House with us. And they didnt see how hard Joe worked every single day. I mean, hed get up. Hed put in a full day, and then at night he would Id be in bed, you know, reading my book, and he was still on the phone, reading his briefings. Working with staff. I mean, it was nonstop."AXIOS REPORTER SHOOTS DOWN EXCUSES FOR BIDEN'S DEBATE PERFORMANCE: 'I'M NOT SURE IF THERE'S A GOOD ONE'CNN host Boris Sanchez asked Thompson on "CNN News Central" later that day to respond to Bidens comments, leading the Axios reporter to insist there was not only a decline but a cover-up as well."Well, Id say, our reporting shows that many people inside the Biden White House disagree, and they do believe that there was a significant decline and a cover-up of that, especially in 2023 and 2024," Thompson said.Thompson recently accepted the White House Correspondents Associations Aldo Beckman Award for Overall Excellence in White House Coverage. His reporting closely documented Bidens disastrous debate performance against President Donald Trump, the events leading up to it, and Bidens eventual decision to exit the race.During his acceptance speech, he called out the mainstream media for largely ignoring signs of Bidens decline until it couldnt be denied anymore.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"President Biden's decline and its cover-up by the people around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless of party, is capable of deception," Thompson said."Some people trust [the media] less because of it," he said. "We bear some responsibility for faith in the media being at such lows. I say this because acknowledging errors builds trust, and being defensive about them further erodes it."Thompson concluded, "We should have done better."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

Draymond Green was assessed his fifth technical foul in just his ninth playoff game this year - two more would warrant an automatic suspension.In the second quarter, Green elbowed Naz Reid after Reid had just fouled him.Green was suspended indefinitely last season for his on-court antics that had been brewing since the prior playoffs, including stomping on Domantas Sabonis. He also put Rudy Gobert in a chokehold and hit Jusuf Nurkic with an open hand, which led to the extended suspension.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMHowever, after the game, Green seemed to hint that he believes there is an "agenda" against him that he is an "angry Black man.""Looked like the angry Black man. I'm not an angry Black man. I am a very successful, educated Black man with a great family, and I am great at basketball and great at what I do," he said."The agenda to try to keep making me look like an angry Black man is crazy. I'm sick of it. It's ridiculous."In the Warriors' last season, Green admitted he was "embarrassed" that he "pouted way too much" during a game at home in which they lost that forced a Game 7. He said he had "some heart-to-hearts" with "people I trust the most" after that game.CELTICS LEGEND PAUL PIERCE WALKED 20 MILES TO FOX STUDIO AFTER BOLD PREDICTION GOES HORRIBLY WRONGHead coach Steve Kerr said that Green's actions that led to his tech are "habit.""It's just a habit he has when somebody fouls him, and he's smart," Kerr said. "So I think it was Reid reached and on the reach, Draymond kind of swiped through and drew the foul. But he does have a habit of sort of flailing his arm to try to make sure the ref sees it, and he made contact, and that's what led to the tech.""It's part of Draymond," Kerr added. "It's the same thing that makes him such a competitor and a winner, puts him over the top sometimes, and we know that, and it's our job to try to help him stay poised, stay composed. But the competition is so meaningful to him that occasionally he goes over the line."Golden State lost the game, 117-93, as Stephen Curry is dealing with a hamstring injury. Julius Randle had 24 points and 11 assists, and Anthony Edwards and Nickeil Alexander-Walker each finished with 20 points.The Warriors put up their lowest first-quarter score (15) in the playoffs since Game 6 of the 2016 NBA Finals, according to Sportradar, when they had 11 in a loss to Cleveland. In those Finals, Green missed Game 5 due to a suspension from technical fouls, which kick-started Cleveland's comeback from being down 3-1 in the series.Game 3 of the Wolves and Warriors is back in the Bay Area on Saturday night.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

For the first time in his career, Sam Darnold sat down in NFL free agency with options to be a starting quarterback.Despite a disappointing finish in the playoffs, Darnold's career-best season with the Minnesota Vikings earned him the right to get a big payday. It was just a matter of where not if.While it is a great feeling for any player in professional sports to have that opportunity in free agency, making the right choice is not easy. There are many factors, personal and professional, that go into a player deciding to choose a different team.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMHowever, when the Seattle Seahawks traded veteran signal caller Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders, speculation began immediately. Could Darnold be heading to Seattle?He was thinking the exact same thing with his agents at Creative Artists Agency."I was looking at my free agent options and talking with my agent about it, and then all of a sudden, we hear the news that Geno [Smith] was getting traded," Darnold explained to Fox News Digital, while discussing his work with the Lowe's Foundation for SkillsUSA National Signing Day. "And that was kind of like, OK, Seattle could be a potential spot.SEAHAWKS' SAM DARNOLD OFFERS CRUCIAL ADVICE FOR SHEDEUR SANDERS AHEAD OF BROWNS' QB BATTLE"When I just found out about the mutual interest that both sides had in getting a deal done, that was something that was really important for me. Having somebody that also wanted me there, and to be able to have an impact as best I can."Seeing mutual interest is a main factor, but then it comes down to whether or not the player, especially a quarterback, can be successful.The Seahawks had a new head coach last season, Mike Macdonald, who came from the Baltimore Ravens. Although they did not compete in the playoffs, they just missed out with a 10-7 record not too bad for a first-year head coach.Darnold loved what he saw when he faced the Seahawks in a 27-24 win for his Vikings."Theres great players on defense, great players on offense. I feel like Coach Macdonalds scheme on defense was really hard to go against last year, and I know coach Klint Kubiak," Darnold said. "I know him from 2023 in San Francisco, when we made that run there, so Im pretty familiar with the system. I think all those factors combined was really the reason I fell in love with the decision to come to Seattle, and, man, I couldnt be more excited about it."Finally, while the on-field product and scheme look up to par, free agents are always looking at the team chemistry and culture. Darnold saw it right away."Being here for the last few weeks, its been amazing being able to meet some of my teammates and some of the coaches," he explained. "And like I referenced with Minnesota, just meeting some of the people in the building. Its just a special place, because you hear about it in the league. You hear about the good spots, the bad spots, the spots in between."Seattle was always a place that guys love going to. They love the energy, they love the environment, and it really did exceed all my expectations. Im so happy to be here."CELEBRATING NEXT GENERATION OF TRADE WORKERSWhile Darnold is getting his bearings in his new city, he made sure to stop by Lowes Seattle store ceremony for SkillsUSA National Signing Day, which is a celebration mirroring the excitement of athletic signings but for future electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs and builders.Lowes rolled out the blue carpet and all for students who were surprised by Seattles newest football star. This initiative is one that hits close to home for Darnold. His father, Mike, has been a plumber for 30-plus years."It was unbelievable," Darnold said of the experience. "Ive seen the hard work that he put in his entire life to it. So, just being able to see these kids and see the hard work theyve already put in, get to meet them and talk to them about the path that theyre headed, and just how passionate they are about it."I think theres so many more opportunities out there in the skill trades world, and me and my dad have talked about it, how theres not a lot of kids doing that anymore. Its a special opportunity for kids to impact their communities in ways they probably dont even know theyre going to."New data from ADP shows nearly one in five workers aged 20-24 held blue-collar jobs as of May 2023. While that was a 2% rise since 2019, the U.S. faces a shortage of 439,000 construction workers.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
