She previously worked as a top space policy analyst for the Aerospace Corporation.<br\/><br\/> Karem has worked as a Middle East adviser to then-Vice President Dick Cheney, a legislative aide to now-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and a national security adviser to both Eric Cantor and Kevin McCarthy in the House. He also did a stint with the American Enterprise Institute think tank. In addition, he served as an adviser to the Jeb Bush presidential campaign.\u00a0<br\/><br\/> The choices reflect a growing trend of the Trump team choosing individuals from the Republican establishment, rather than outsiders in line with the president&#8217;s &#8220;Drain the Swamp&#8221; motto. They also drew praise from an unexpected sector\u00a0\u2014\u00a0a group of former Obama-era defense officials who have become increasingly vocal critics on Twitter of the Trump administration.<br\/><br\/> Derek Chollet, who from 2012-2015 held the spot for which Karem has been nominated, tweeted: &#8220;Not often I say this, but terrific news from Trump Admin,&#8221; adding that Karem is &#8220;smart, savvy, &#038; skilled.
