The Trump administration is facing intense scrutiny for allowing individuals tied to radical Islamic movements and terror-linked organizations to infiltrate the highest levels of government. A series of explosive appointments and high-level meetings have exposed what appears to be a complete collapse of vetting protocol.
The latest controversy stems from two appointees to the Religious Liberty Commission: Ismail Royer and Hamza Yusuf.
RAIR Foundation USA previously raised the alarm:
“Ismail Royer’s criminal record and ties to jihadist groups render him wholly unfit for a role advising the White House, particularly in national security matters. His involvement with Lashkar-e-Taiba, a terrorist organization responsible for deadly attacks like the Mumbai massacre, raises serious concerns about his judgment and loyalty to the United States.”
“Hamza Yusuf, co-founder of Zaytuna College, is known as a leading Islamic scholar but has been linked to controversial figures and accused of downplaying jihadist threats. Yusuf defended Jamil Al-Amin, convicted of murdering a sheriff’s deputy, portraying him as a courageous truth-teller and suggesting he was framed. He also defended Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman (the ‘Blind Sheikh’), convicted for plotting to bomb New York landmarks, claiming his trial was unjust.”

Trump Administration's Latest Vetting Catastrophe: Islamic Operative Rabiul Chowdhury Infiltrates the White House - RAIR
While Americans were promised “extreme vetting,” the Trump administration has instead allowed radical Islamic operatives like Rabiul Chowdhury - deeply tied to CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood, and pro-Hamas activism - to quietly infiltrate the White House and shape policy from within.
