President Trump plans to appoint Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight to the board of trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts — along with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
The move was announced Tuesday by White House officials.
Voight and Huckabee have both been vocal Trump supporters over the years.
“He’s a patriot, and the people are responding because they know it’s exactly what has to happen,” Voight said of the president in 2016. “Somebody has got to get in there and clean it out — even take the paint off.”
Trump plans to appoint eight other individuals to the Performing Arts board of trustees, all of whom would serve until September 2024.
The list includes American Financial Group co-CEO Carl Lindner III, philanthropist Adrienne Arsht, hotelier Kelly Roberts and author Karen Tucker LeFrak — who is married to billionaire developer Richard LeFrak, one of New York’s biggest real estate magnates.
The Kennedy Center has 36 presidential appointees on its board.
