Who Are Tom Cotton’s Advisors?

US JOURNAL — Senator “Tom Cotton” has become a 99controversial figure in the US Congress since 2014. This trend has been strengthened since 2016, along with the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States.  Cotton is a graduate of Harvard University (Law School) and was a US soldier in the Iraq war.

The first issue that needs to be addressed in this regard is “Cotton’s membership in the Senate Committee on Intelligence”. His presence in the most critical committee at the Senate in his first term, has created a lot of ambiguity among experts of the security affairs in the United States.
