Former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke is expected to take a job in the Trump administration after resigning Thursday, a report says.
The tough-talking conservative will likely be serving in the White House, in a role that won’t require confirmation from the Senate, according to Politico.
Sources told the outlet that this is because his nomination would surely face opposition from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
Clarke, known for his cowboy hat and no-holds-barred attitude, has been an outspoken social media user and avid supporter of President Trump.

Well, that article is certainly correct in pointing out that a job requiring senate confirmation ain't on the cards for the erstwhile sheriff...
At this point, even with a GOP majority, this clown probably couldn't get confirmed as a Deputy Assistant Under Secretary For Mailroom Supervision...
But as for him going to work at the White House, I'll believe it when I see it...
If Kelly wouldn't hire him to work at DHS, I have a hard time believing that he would accept him on the White House staff...
Especially when Kelly has been all about getting rid of the "colorful gadflys" not bringing more in...
Trump already did Clarke a big financial solid when he plugged his book to the 17 million or so Trumpanzee faithful last week on Twitter...
That was probably good for at least 100,000 copy bump in book sales, maybe more...
Maybe that was Trump's way of paying him off for his support (and keeping him from trash talking The Donald) without having to give him a job...
I suspect if anything, Clarke will just get a seat on some meaningless advisory panel...
