(Reuters) – U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said on Wednesday he was picking Kari Lake, a former news publisher and staunch Republican who failed to win an Arizona Senate seat last month, to be director of the U.S. government-funded media outlet iVoice. American.
Trump, in a post on his Truth Social site, said Lake will “ensure that America’s values of Freedom and Liberty are broadcast around the world FAIRLY AND STRICTLY, unlike the lies spread by the Fake News Media.”
Lake, a staunch Trump supporter who has exposed his false claims of fraud in the 2020 election, also lost the governor’s race in Arizona in 2022 and was previously an anchor at Phoenix-based Fox 10.

The Voice of America (VOA) is an international communications organization operating in more than 40 languages online and on radio and television.
During his first term in office, Trump clashed with VOA and accused it of promoting Chinese propaganda after it aired a segment in a mini-show marking the reopening of Wuhan, the city where the coronavirus pandemic first emerged.
