Heather Nauert Withdraws from U.N. Ambassadorship Consideration

HeadlineFeb 18, 2019

State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert has removed herself from consideration to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, according to a statement released Saturday. The withdrawal is reportedly due to Nauert’s past hiring of a nanny who did not have authorization to work in the U.S., and Nauert’s failure to pay taxes on time. The news comes after Trump’s National Golf Club was accused of hiring dozens of undocumented workers over the years, firing at least 18 from five golf courses in New York and New Jersey in the past two months.
