Trump Taps Kari Lake to Lead VOA, Kimbery Guilfoyle as U.S Amb. to Greece, Tom Barrack as Turkey Amb.

HeadlineDec 12, 2024

On Wednesday, Trump tapped Kari Lake, prominent election denier and failed candidate for Arizona senator and governor, to helm Voice of America, the federally funded international media broadcaster.

Meanwhile, Trump selected Kimberly Guilfoyle, fiancée to Donald Trump Jr., to be the U.S. ambassador to Greece. The announcement came just hours after a British tabloid published photos of Trump Jr. holding hands with Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson.

Trump also appointed longtime associate and billionaire investor Tom Barrack as ambassador to Turkey. Barrack was charged, and later acquitted, with acting as an unregistered foreign agent for the United Arab Emirates, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and making false statements to the FBI when he worked as an adviser to Trump from 2016 to 2019.
