Kari Lake tapped to lead federal broadcasting agency in new Trump administration

President-elect Donald Trump has tapped election denier and two-time failed Republican candidate Kari Lake to lead Voice of America in his new administration.

Trump made the selection Wednesday night, ending speculation that Lake, a former TV news anchor turned MAGA favorite, would be selected as the incoming president’s ambassador to Mexico. She will instead serve as director of the government-funded media agency Voice of America, which produces overseas broadcasts that have traditionally remained nonpartisan.
