Trump Picks Kari Lake to Serve as Director of the Voice of America

President-elect Donald Trump picked Republican Kari Lake to serve as the director of the United States government’s Voice of America (VOA).

In a post on Truth Social, Trump praised Lake as having previously been “a beloved News Anchor in Arizona.” Trump added that Lake would be working closely with the “next head” of the U.S. Agency for Global Media.

“I am pleased to announce that Kari Lake will serve as our next Director of the Voice of America,” Trump wrote. “She will be appointed by, and work closely with, our next head of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, who I will announce soon, to ensure that the American values of Freedom and Liberty are broadcast around the World FAIRLY and ACCURATELY, unlike the lies spread by the Fake News Media.”
