President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Kari Lake, a former Arizona Senate candidate and TV anchor, as the next Director of the Voice of America (VOA), a state-funded international broadcasting network. Trump announced the appointment on Truth Social, stating that Lake will work closely with the upcoming head of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) to ensure the spread of American values like freedom and liberty.
