Breitbart The interview, which took place on Feb. 4 before Trump picked Mullin to succeed outgoing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, is a big deep-dive into China’s expansionist vision and the efforts of the American government to counter those. Breitbart News had been planning to release the interview closer to Trump’s upcoming trip to China, where he is expected to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in early April, but since Trump shocked the world by selecting Mullin to lead the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Breitbart News has decided to move the timeline of the publication of the interview up to now. It is a rare exclusive look into a major arena of national security by a prominent incoming member of the president’s Cabinet ahead of his Senate confirmation hearing before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs (HGSAC), chaired by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).
The hearing was announced for next week on Monday. Usually, cabinet secretary candidates do not do interviews during their confirmation processes, and it is unlikely Mullin will do another one between now and when he is confirmed by the full U.S. Senate, which is expected later this month. But the strange timing of this pre-recorded interview on the threat of China, the president’s sudden appointment of Mullin, and the president’s trip to China upcoming later this spring creates a perfect storm that allows a unique situational window for Breitbart News readers and viewers into what the president’s new man in charge of Homeland Security thinks on China and the threats America’s greatest adversary presents to national security. It also represents an opportunity to see just how deeply Mullin has thought about and studied these issues of paramount importance, and how prepared he is for his new role in countering Chinese influence in particular.
