[Free Beacon] Former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke announced Tuesday that he had accepted a position with the pro-Trump super PAC America First Action.
Clarke will become a spokesman and senior advisor to the PAC, Politico reported. Clarke announced his departure from Milwaukee County law enforcement last week.

Some staff members remain under investigation.
