MEET THE 24-YEAR-OLD LEADING THE TRUMP DRUG POLICY OFFICE
In May 2016, Taylor Weyeneth was an undergraduate at St. John's
University in New York, a legal studies student and fraternity member
who organized a golf tournament and other events to raise money for
veterans and their families.
Less than a year later, at 23, Weyeneth, was a political appointee and
rising star at the Office of National Drug Control Policy, the White
House office responsible for coordinating the federal government's
multibillion dollar anti-drug initiatives and supporting President
Donald Trump's efforts to curb the opioid epidemic. Weyeneth would
soon become deputy chief of staff.
Weyeneth's brief biography offers few clues that he would so quickly
assume a leading role in the drug policy office, a job recently
occupied by a lawyer and a veteran government official. His only
professional experience after college and before becoming an appointee
was working on Trump's presidential campaign.
