Trump Names Election Denier Kari Lake as Voice of America Director
Dec 12, 2024, 09:00 AM
President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Kari Lake, a former television news anchor and loyal supporter, as the new director of Voice of America (VOA), the U.S. government-funded international media organization that broadcasts in over 40 languages to an audience of more than 350 million people worldwide. Lake, who previously ran unsuccessful Senate and gubernatorial campaigns in Arizona, is known for denying the results of the 2020 presidential election. She worked as a news anchor at Fox 10 Phoenix for nearly three decades before entering politics. Trump announced the nomination on his social media platform, Truth Social, praising Lake's career in journalism and her dedication to promoting American values of freedom and independence. Lake stated that under her leadership, VOA will excel in its mission to fairly and accurately broadcast American values around the world.
