A former Navy SEAL and staunch supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump, Carl Higbie, is joining the administration as Chief of External Affairs for the Corporation for National and Community Service.
Higbie known for his combative cable news appearances, the author of the 2012 book "Battle on the Home Front: A Navy SEAL's Mission to Save the American Dream," made the announcement on the social networking site Twitter.
Higbie tweeted, "Thank you @realDonaldTrump for appointing me to Chief of External Affairs for @NationalService. Honored to serve again! #MAGA."
Higbie said that he will be responsible "for the public image, messaging and media for the [national and community service] organization," The Hill quoted.
The 34-year-old also reflected on his time as a frequent guest on cable news, which he described as "an uphill battle" while often serving as the lone President Trump advocate against multiple anti-Trump pundits.
"My time in the media supporting the president has been an uphill battle on many networks but it has been my honor to have been aboard the Trump train since day one," Higbie said in an email to The Hill.
"It is unfortunate that the left wing media would rather see America fail than President Trump succeeds," he continued.
"I have no regrets for any of my support for the president then or now. Despite what the media says I believe Trump is doing a great job and would happily debate their concerns."
The Corporation for National and Community Service is a federal agency that oversees national service initiatives including AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, the Social Innovation Fund and other national service initiatives. It was formed in 1993 under former President Bill Clinton.
