Former President Donald Trump has been privately asking confidants what they would think of his appointing his former White House domestic policy adviser, Brooke Rollins, as his chief of staff if he wins the election, according to three people with knowledge of his conversations.

In multiple private conversations in recent weeks, Trump has said that he thinks Rollins would make “a great chief of staff” and that “she’s tall” and “she’s got the look,” among other attributes.

Rollins, a conservative lawyer who ran domestic policy in the final year of the Trump administration, is a close ally of Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. House Speaker Mike Johnson has also agreed with Trump’s assessment that Rollins would make a great chief of staff, according to a person briefed on their conversations.

Rollins said in a statement that she has “had zero conversations with President Trump or his team about this.”
