A White House questionnaire being sent to potential political appointees appears to be a litmus test of the applicant's loyalty to the president.
The questionnaire, a copy of which was obtained by CBS News, includes questions like, "What part of candidate Trump's campaign message most appealed to you and why?"
The questionnaire also asks potential appointees to describe their political evolution and to list media appearances in which they've commented about Mr. Trump.
"The purpose of this document is to expedite Presidential Personnel's vetting process," it says, before asking the applicant to list all social media accounts and references.
The survey is a product of new presidential personnel director Johnny McEntee, who rejoined the administration recently after he was escorted out of the White House in 2018 while under a security-related investigation.
CBS News previously reported McEntee has been scouring the administration for political appointees deemed disloyal to the president.
The White House Presidential Personnel Office is responsible for vetting administration appointees.
