President-elect Trump tapped Kari Lake as the next director of the Voice of America, a state-funded U.S. government broadcaster.
“I am pleased to announce that Kari Lake will serve as our next Director of the Voice of America. 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,” Trump wrote in a release on Wednesday night.
Lake was a longtime Arizona broadcaster who ran unsuccessfully for public office in 2022 and 2024.
