A few years before being appointed a top counterterrorism official in the Trump administration as 22-year-old University of Texas at San Antonio grad, Thomas Fugate was investigated by police over allegations he sent threatening text messages to another teenager, the the Daily Beast reports. Fugate made headlines last month after being appointed to head the Department of Homeland Security’s Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships, or CP3. The White House reportedly placed the former Trump campaign worker and Heritage Foundation intern in that role despite having little apparent background training in national security and a resume listing previous work experiences as a landscaper and an employee at an H-E-B grocery store.
