Why did president Washington want both Thomas Jefferson ans Alexander Hamilton to be among his colsest advisers?
Because they were experienced in their respective departments. Thomas Jefferson had been a diplomat overseas for quite some time (that was where he'd been during the Constitutional Convention), and was very adept at foreign relations. Alexander Hamilton was a financial genius who had once helped to run a shipping company in the West Indies when he was a teenager. Washington was smart, and he knew that both Jefferson and Hamilton were smart men and it would be a good idea to have their advice. Too bad they hated each other, but that is another story.
