Trump adds Fox News' KT McFarland to national security team
US President-elect Donald Trump has filled two senior administration posts as he continues to build his team.
KT McFarland, a former government official who has most recently worked as Fox News analyst, is to serve as deputy national security adviser.
Campaign lawyer Donald McGahn will be White House counsel.
The latest appointments come as a request for a recount of the votes is due to be filed in Wisconsin where Mr Trump narrowly beat Hillary Clinton.
Mr Trump confirmed the nominations in a statement from his transition team on Friday.
He praised Ms McFarland's "tremendous experience and innate talent'' which he said would "complement the fantastic team we are assembling".
Ms McFarland, who has worked in the administrations of former presidents Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan, will assist retired Lt Gen Michael Flynn, who has been appointed national security adviser.
