President-elect Trump appoints Kari Lake to lead Voice of America, sparking concerns over impartiality.

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Kari Lake, a former TV news anchor and vocal Trump supporter, to lead Voice of America (VOA), a federally funded international broadcaster. Lake, who unsuccessfully ran for Arizona governor and Senate, is known for her support of Trump's baseless claims about the 2020 election. Trump announced the appointment on his Truth Social platform, stating that Lake will work to ensure American values are broadcast fairly and accurately. The move has raised concerns about the broadcaster's independence and impartiality.
