Kari Lake's VOA Appointment Stirs Controversy and Concerns

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Kari Lake, a former news anchor and Arizona Senate candidate, as the director of Voice of America. Trump also announced plans to nominate Michael Rigas as deputy secretary of state for management and resources, and three former donors—Peter Lamelas, Daniel Newlin, and Leandro Rizzuto—for ambassadorships.
