President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday said he intends to appoint Kari Lake to serve as the next director at government-funded news broadcaster Voice of America.
In that role, Lake will work with the incoming chief executive of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (Usagm), which overseas the operations of Voice of America, Office of Uba Broadcasting, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Al Hurra and a number of other U.S.-backed international broadcasters.
In a statement posted on his media platform Truth Social, Trump noted that Lake was a “beloved news anchor in Arizona,” where she worked for Fox-owned station Ksaz-tv (Channel 10) in Phoenix before leaving the outlet to run for governor.
Lake lost the gubernatorial election in 2020, only to stay in the spotlight by making a number of unsubstantiated claims about the outcome of that race and the 2020 presidential election.
