MOJO

More than two years after she withdrew from consideration for a White House national security position amid plagiarism accusations, Fox News commentator Monica Crowley is reportedly set to take a job as chief spokeswoman for Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. But Crowley’s work in the interim has hardly made her less controversial. In 2017, she registered as a lobbyist for Victor Pinchuk, a Ukrainian billionaire whose large payments (for speeches) to prominent Americans, including Donald Trump, and apparent promotion of pro-Russian interests drew scrutiny from special counsel Robert MuelleRr. Crowley’s lobbying for Pinchuk could complicate her role as the top flack for an agency that is responsible for imposing and policing US sanctions on Russia and on a prominent Ukrainian leader tied to Pinchuk.

In January 2017, Trump picked Crowley, a onetime research assistant for former President Richard Nixon who gained prominence as a conservative pundit, to head strategic communications for the National Security Council. Crowley announced she would not take the job following reports that she had plagiarized large sections of her 2012 book and her 2000 Ph.D. dissertation.

“After much reflection I have decided to remain in New York to pursue other opportunities,” she said in a January 16, 2017, statement. Within a few weeks, according to filings with the Justice Department, Crowley had begun working with Douglas Schoen, a Democratic lobbyist with clients in Ukraine, to “provide outreach services” for Pinchuk, a steel magnate whose empire also includes media and banking holdings. A filing submitted by Schoen noted that Crowley had contacted a slew of prominent Republicans, including the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, and Defense Secretary James Mattis on Pinchuk’s behalf. She also reported meeting with Pinchuk on February 2, 2017, in London to discuss “peace efforts involving Ukraine” and other topics.

Those “peace efforts” sound like a reference to a plan that Pinchuk was promoting for settling the conflict resulting from Russia’s 2014 invasion of Ukraine. Pinchuk presents himself as pro-Western, but his plan, which he detailed in a December 2016 Wall Street Journal op-ed, included a series of Ukrainian concessions aimed at appeasing Russia’s desire that Ukraine remain a buffer against the West. Pinchuk wrote that Ukraine should set aside efforts to enter the European Union, give up on joining NATO in favor of “neutrality,” and defer discussion of regaining Crimea, which Russian troops had seized, as part of a settlement.

Pinchuk also called for Ukraine to accept “an incremental rollback of sanctions” that the United States and European states imposed on Russia for the 2014 invasion. His proposal drew attacks from some Ukrainians as overly conciliatory. “Pinchuk wants to show that business stands for the reboot of relations between the U.S and Russia, even if Ukrainian national interests are the price for that,” Hanna Hopko, the head of the Ukrainian parliament’s foreign affairs committee, said at the time. Another Ukrainian lawmaker, Mustafa Nayyem, said the proposal would “doom millions of people to legalized slavery.”

Pinchuk’s peace plan was one of a handful of proposals pushed by prominent Ukrainians in early 2017, as they sought American backing. These included a proposal by a pro-Russian lawmaker, Andriy Artemenko, that Trump’s then-lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen reportedly shared in February 2017 with Michael Flynn, Trump’s soon-to-be ousted national security adviser. Pinchuk’s plan was similar to one that former Trump campaign head Paul Manafort secretly discussed with Konstantin Kilimnik, a longtime Manafort employee in Ukraine who has ties to Russian intelligence, according to the FBI.

The plan Kilimnik brought to Manafort envisioned the creation of an autonomous region in Ukraine, which Pinchuk’s proposal also hinted at. Manafort told prosecutors the plan he discussed with Kilimnik was in reality a “backdoor” way for Russia to gain control of eastern Ukraine, according to Mueller’s report, released in redacted form last week. Kilimnik was promoting the proposal on behalf of Viktor Yanukovych, the former pro-Russian president of Ukraine and Manafort’s longtime patron, whose 2014 ouster through a popular uprising precipitated Russia’s invasion. Yanukoyvch hoped to regain power as head of the autonomous region, Mueller’s report says.

Pinchuk appears to have long-standing ties to Yanukovych. According to emails released by the State Department, Pinchuk, a major donor to the Clinton Foundation, met in 2011 with an aide to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to convey a message that Yanukovych, whose growing Kremlin ties worried US officials, remained committed to Ukraine’s integration with Europe.

In 2012, Pinchuk allegedly secretly bankrolled a report by Skadden, Arps, a prominent law firm, that defended the legal basis of Yanukoych’s imprisonment of his predecessor, Yulia Tymoshenko. Skadden revealed Pinchuk’s role in January when the firm agreed to pay $4.6 million to settle a Justice Department case that grew out of Mueller’s investigation into Manafort, who helped arrange for the firm’s report. Pinchuk has denied funding the report.

In recent years, Pinchuk has worked to cultivate Trump and senior Republicans. In 2015, Pinchuk paid $150,000 to the Trump Foundation for Trump to deliver brief remarks, via Skype, to a Kiev conference funded by Pinchuk’s charitable foundation, which bankrolls various cultural causes in Ukraine. Mueller reportedly investigated the circumstances of that payment, though it is not mentioned in the portions of his report made public. Before joining the White House, Trump national security adviser John Bolton received $115,000 to participate in two panel discussions sponsored by Pinchuk.

And Crowley arranged for former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani to speak at a June 2017 Pinchuk Foundation conference in Kiev. Giuliani, who reportedly receives at least $100,000 per speech, told Mother Jones his payment “was in line with” his standard fee but declined to specify the amount.

From February 2017 to January 2018, Crowley received at least $15,000 per month from a Pinchuk firm, EastOne Group, according to the Justice Department’s Foreign Agents Registration Act filings. It’s not clear if she has officially ceased working for Pinchuk.

In 2014, the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control imposed sanctions on Yanukovych and three allies for their role in “actions or policies that threaten the peace, security, stability, sovereignty, or territorial integrity of Ukraine.” The Department has also sanctioned numerous Russian officials and entities over the 2014 invasion and other Russian policies. Would this create a conflict for Crowley, given Pinchuk’s ties to the former Ukrainian president? Crowley and a Treasury Department spokesman did not respond to questions. Schoen and Pinchuk, through his foundation, also did not reply to inquiries.

WashingtonCNN —

President Donald Trump’s original pick for deputy national security adviser is now lobbying for a Ukrainian businessman who once advocated that Kiev acquiesce to Moscow’s annexation of Crimea.

Conservative commentator Monica Crowley, who would have served as the administration’s national security spokeswoman, withdrew from the transition team in January after a series of CNN’s KFILE reports revealed that she had plagiarized parts of Ph.D. dissertation at Columbia University.

According to a Friday filing with Justice Department, Crowley is now lobbying for Victor Pinchuk, a Ukrainian oligarch and former Ukrainian politician.

Crowley “will be providing outreach services on behalf of Mr. Victor Pinchuk,” according to the Foreign Agents Registration Act filing, which requires people working on behalf of a foreign entity in a “political or quasi-political” capacity to file records.

Such services include “inviting government officials and other policymakers to attend conferences and meetings, such as the annual Munich Security Conference, to engage in learning and dialogue regarding issues of concern to Mr. Pinchuk.”

Pinchuk, whose total net worth has been valued by Forbes Magazine at just around $1.4 billion, has donated substantial sums to both the Clinton and Trump foundations.

In December Pinchuk penned an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal calling on Kiev to be willing to “make painful sacrifices,” including forestalling its NATO and EU aspirations and abandoning its claim to Crimea in return for Russia ending its support for separatists in Ukraine’s east.

During the campaign, Trump similarly expressed openness to recognizing the Russian annexation of Crimea. Since then, his administration has taken a tougher line, pledging to maintain sanctions on Moscow over the issue.

The news of Crowley’s lobbying on behalf of a foreign client comes a week after Trump’s former national security adviser, retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, registered as a foreign agent with the Justice Department, acknowledging that the work he did during the transition may have benefited the Turkish government.

6 25 NO TALK

Monica Elizabeth Crowley[2] (born September 19, 1968) is the Chief of Protocol of the United States since May 2025 in the Second Trump administration. Crowley formerly served as the assistant secretary for public affairs for the U.S. Department of the Treasury from July 2019 to January 2021. She has been a political commentator and lobbyist. She was a Fox News contributor, where she worked (with a few breaks) from 1996 to 2017. She is a former online opinion editor for The Washington Times and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

In December 2016, the Donald Trump administration announced that Crowley would be appointed a deputy national security advisor for the National Security Council. She withdrew a month later following reports that she had plagiarized portions of her 2012 book What the (Bleep) Just Happened? and that there were "localized instances of plagiarism" of her 2000 Ph.D. dissertation that Columbia concluded did not meet the level of "research misconduct". On July 16, 2019, Trump announced Crowley's appointment as spokesperson for the Treasury Department. On July 24, 2019, she was sworn into office.

Early life and education

Crowley was born at Fort Huachuca,[3] an Army base located outside Sierra Vista, Arizona, and grew up in Warren Township, New Jersey. Crowley graduated from Watchung Hills Regional High School in 1986.[4]

She holds a BA in political science from Colgate University and a Ph.D. in international relations from Columbia University in 2000. There were "localized instances of plagiarism" in her dissertation that Columbia concluded did not meet the level of "research misconduct".[5][6][7][8]

Career

Media

In the mid-1990s, Crowley wrote a regular column for the New York Post.[9] She has also written for The New Yorker,[10] The Washington Times,[11] The Wall Street Journal,[12] the Los Angeles Times, and the Baltimore Sun.

Crowley was a commentator for National Public Radio's Morning Edition in the mid-1990s.[13] Since 2002, she hosts a nationally syndicated radio show, The Monica Crowley Show,[14] and she is a regular contributor to The John Batchelor Show.

In 1996, Crowley joined Fox News Channel, where she was a foreign affairs and political analyst and occasionally substituted for Sean Hannity on Fox News Channel's Hannity. In 2004, she joined MSNBC's Connected: Coast to Coast with co-host Ron Reagan. After a nine-month run, the last show aired on December 9, 2005. Crowley has also been a recurring guest on Imus in the Morning and has hosted the MSNBC broadcast The Best of Imus in the Morning. In 2007, she returned as a contributor to Fox News Channel. She was also a regular participant on The McLaughlin Group from late 2007 to 2011.

Crowley was an occasional panelist on Fox News Channel's late-night talk show; Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld. Since 2009, she has been a guest host for Bill O'Reilly on The O'Reilly Factor and his subsequent podcast and appeared opposite Alan Colmes on an episode of The O'Reilly Factor in a segment called "Barack and a Hard Place". She is also an occasional guest host on the daily (5:00 pm ET) Fox opinion show, The Five.

Crowley appeared in the TV series 24 in 2001, and in the Netflix original series House of Cards in 2013, portraying herself in both.[15] She has been a guest on The Colbert Report in 2005 (S1 • Episode 9)[16] and on Real Time With Bill Maher in 2003 (S1 • Episode 2).[17]

In election-day commentary in 2016 on Fox News, speaking of Republican candidate Donald Trump's impending upset victory, Crowley said, "This is a revolt of the unprotected class against the protected elite class."[18]

Politics

As a student, Crowley began writing letters to former president Richard Nixon, who hired her as a research assistant in 1990[19] when she was 22.[20][21] She was an editorial advisor and consultant on Nixon's last two books, and following Nixon's death, she published two books about him: Nixon off the Record: His Candid Commentary on People and Politics and Nixon in Winter.

In March 2017, Crowley joined the firm of Douglas Schoen as a part-time consultant, providing "outreach services" on behalf of Ukrainian industrialist and political figure Victor Pinchuk. Crowley registered as a foreign agent as required by the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938.[22][23][24]

Following Trump's election victory, it was announced in December 2016 that Crowley would join the Trump administration as a deputy national security advisor. Following this announcement,[25] on July 16, 2019, Trump announced Crowley's appointment as Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs in the Treasury Department.[26][2][27] Crowley replaced Tony Sayegh, who left the position in May, as the top spokeswoman for Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.[28]

Crowley is a contributor to Project 2025; her name is listed alongside the Nixon Seminar, of which she is a member.[29]

On December 4, 2024, president-elect Trump announced that Crowley would be appointed as the Ambassador, Assistant Secretary of State, and Chief of Protocol.[30]

Plagiarism

Crowley has been shown to have committed extensive plagiarism, which she has denied. In 1999, Crowley was accused of plagiarism related to a column on Richard Nixon she wrote for The Wall Street Journal[12] which contained "striking similarities" (according to the Journal) to a piece written 11 years earlier by Paul Johnson.[6][31] When contacted by The New York Times for comment, Crowley responded, "I did not, nor would I ever, use material from a source without citing it."[31]

On January 7, 2017, CNN published a report documenting numerous instances of plagiarism in Crowley's 2012 book, What the (Bleep) Just Happened? The book includes about 50 examples of copying freely from published sources with no attribution given, including from Wikipedia.[32] In a statement, the Trump transition team called the plagiarism report "nothing more than a politically motivated attack" and stood by her.[33]

Two days later, on January 9, 2017, Politico reported that a dozen additional instances of plagiarism were in Crowley's 2000 Ph.D. dissertation on international relations at Columbia University.[6][34] In December 2019, an internal Columbia University investigation concluded that Crowley had engaged in “localized instances of plagiarism” but that the plagiarism did not meet the level of "research misconduct."[35]

Shortly after reports emerged that she plagiarized the book What the (Bleep) Just Happened?, the publisher of the book, HarperCollins, announced:[36]

The book, which has reached the end of its natural sales cycle, will no longer be offered for purchase until such time as the author has the opportunity to source and revise the material.

On January 16, 2017, Crowley withdrew from consideration for the role of senior director of strategic communications at the National Security Council in the Trump administration. "I have decided to remain in New York to pursue other opportunities," she said in a statement.[37] The Washington Times, where she served previously as online opinion editor, said the same day that it would be investigating her work at the paper for possible incidents of additional plagiarism by her.[38]

Crowley subsequently told Fox News host Sean Hannity, "What happened to me was a despicable, straight-up, political hit job" and said that it had been "debunked."[39] Andrew Kaczynski, the CNN reporter who first reported instances of plagiarism in Crowley's book, called her claims of innocence false and "complete BS,"[39] stating: "No one has yet to point out a single inaccuracy in our reporting or asked for a correction on it. Monica Crowley v. reality."[40]

Obama conspiracy theories

Crowley has on multiple occasions spread conspiracy theories that President Barack Obama is secretly a Muslim.[41] In 2010, after Obama defended the right to build the Islamic community center Park51 in Lower Manhattan near the World Trade Center, Crowley suggested he had dual loyalties to Islam and the United States, and asked, "How could he....support the enemy?" In 2013, she said that the Muslim Brotherhood had "found an ally" in Obama.[41]

In 2009, she noted that Obama used his full name, Barack Hussein Obama, during his swearing in as president (which presidents typically do[citation ^needed]), had early in his presidency ordered the closure of the Guantánamo Bay detention camp, and granted an interview to the media outlet Al Arabiya, saying this "tells you where his head is and, possibly, his sympathies. Just sayin'."[41]

In 2011, Crowley said that birther conspiracy theories about Obama raised legitimate concerns.[41]

In 2015, she shared an article which described Obama as an "Islamic community organizer" who was "conforming US policy to Islam and Sharia."[41]

Personal life

Crowley's brother-in-law was the late liberal political commentator Alan Colmes, who was married to Crowley's sister, Jocelyn Elise Crowley, a professor of public policy at Rutgers University.[42]

MONICA CROWLEY (GUEST HOST): Well, that is fantastic, Mike. Thank you so much and thank you for going into the Christian community as well and opening people's eyes to the stakes involved here. It is a spiritual war. Of course it's Trump versus Harris, but it's also God versus the enemy, good versus evil, however you want to cast it. There's something much bigger going on here and if Christians don't vote, we are going to lose this election.

Donald Trump needs you out there. Kari Lake, all of the America First candidates. We need every Christian out there understanding what is at stake. This country was founded on Judeo Christian principles. The law is based on the 10 commandments. We need every Christian out there voting or this country is going to be lost. And the spiritual warfare coming against us now will be nothing compared to the spiritual warfare that will come to us if Kamala Harris is elected, right?

Ahead of the October 1 vice presidential debate, Trump running mate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) has enlisted Project 2025 contributor and former Trump Treasury official Monica Crowley to help with debate prep.

Crowley, a former Fox contributor, made a name for herself via serial plagiarism and pushing conspiracy theories about former President Barack Obama’s heritage.

In addition to their mutual connection to Project 2025, Vance and Crowley also share extremist anti-abortion views.

Project 2025 contributor asks Trump if the assassination attempt on him could have been an “inside job”

Trump told Monica Crowley: “There's so many things going on here that you do have to wonder. ... I wasn't thinking this way three weeks ago. But the more you see it, the more you start to say there could be something else.”

Project 2025 is a massive right-wing plan led by the Heritage Foundation to provide policy and staffing to a future Republican president. Monica Crowley is a former Trump administration official and right-wing media figure touted for a position in a second Trump term; she is listed as a contributor in the Project 2025 policy book, Mandate for Leadership.

On August 29, Crowley interviewed former President Donald Trump on her podcast, with the two discussing the possibility that the assassination attempt was an “inside job.”

CitationFrom the August 29, 2024, edition of The Monica Crowley Podcast, streamed on Rumble

MONICA CROWLEY (HOST): Two final questions for you, Mr. President, with regard to the assassination attempt. The more we see what happened that day, the more suspicious it all looks. It looks like the three-letter agencies are slow walking a lot of this evidence, a lot of the videos, etc. Does it look increasingly to you like this was a suspicious — maybe even inside job?

DONALD TRUMP: Well, it's strange. The father hired the most expensive lawyer, and he lives in the area, supposedly not very much money. He hired the most expensive lawyer. Think of this. Who's paying for this lawyer in Pennsylvania? High end, very, very expensive lawyer, top of the line, right? You know, where does he get the money to hire a lawyer that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars? Is the lawyer doing it for free? I doubt it. Are the Democrats paying for his legal fees? Is Marc Elias involved and that group? Is Weissmann involved? I don't know. Maybe they are. Maybe they're not. But who's paying for this lawyer?

Then you have the case of all of these apps that they can't get open. They can't get his phones open. And, you know, it's very suspicious, very suspicious. Why can't they get the apps open? Why can't the FBI get the apps open? Don't forget the head of the FBI said I may have been hit by shrapnel or some flying glass, OK? And that was even disputed by — all you have to do is take a look at it. They've shown it 50 different ways, 200 different ways, but that was their first — you know, he may have been hit by some shrapnel, you know, to maybe just grazed by a little shrapnel, and they knew that wasn't true.

So you say, why did they say that? Why did the director say that? Because that was so far off. He met with a tremendous — I mean, even his own side said, “You can't say that. There was no glass.” He's — I guess he said maybe the teleprompter. It's not even glass. It's something else. But, it wasn't broken. But, you know, you say, why did he say that?

There's so many things going on here that you do have to wonder. You do have to wonder. But they have apps or they have some things, and they're foreign-based from what I understand. And you say, like, why is it that they can't get them open? Apple should open them easily. You know, when they were going after you and all your friends, they were able to open up their phones very easily, right? But for an assassin, they can't get their phones open. I think those phones ought to be opened by this afternoon because they're foreign based.

And I think they ought to get — and I think they ought to find out who's paying for the lawyer, where's the money coming from, because I wasn't thinking this way three weeks ago. But the more you see it, the more you start to say there could be something else, and that's really dangerous for the country. So, you know, I think they should clear up all that. This shouldn't be like the Kennedy where they're waiting for so many years. I'll be opening that up, like, on my first week, but, you know, they have — everybody waits for it, the Kennedy assassination. This shouldn't be that. They should have all the facts. And, you know, it's harder to get the facts as time goes by, but they ought to get those phones open, and they ought to find out who he's been speaking to. That's what I think.

CROWLEY: Well, you know, 60 years later, we're still talking about the Kennedy assassination, right?

TRUMP: Yeah.

CROWLEY: But you were shot five or six weeks ago, and the imperial media, the regime, they've all buried it. They don't want anybody talking about it, which also lends credence to this idea that this is very suspicious —

TRUMP: Yeah, true.

CROWLEY: — and could have been an inside job. Before —

TRUMP: They don't wanna talk about it.

CROWLEY: No, of course not.

TRUMP: They don't wanna talk about it.

CROWLEY: Of course not. Which also —

TRUMP: Tells you bad things.

CROWLEY: It raises big suspicions.

TRUMP: Well they didn't wanna talk about the election of 2020 either.

CROWLEY: Right.

TRUMP: They just don't wanna talk about it because they know they're guilty as hell. And the only way you can stop it — it's amazing. People that want to have a fair election are indicted. The people that cheated on the election are allowed to keep cheating.

ROB SCHMITT (HOST): I mean, again, this trial was so meaningless. In the grand scheme of what this family's been doing, this is the psyop. Here it is.

MONICA CROWLEY (GUEST): Yeah exactly. I mean, it's not meaningless in the sense that it was a head fake. It's meant to distract the American people with Hunter's shiny little object of a gun away from the much larger crimes of the Biden crime family, and that is influence peddling and making bank by selling America out to some of our worst enemies, including the --

SCHMITT: China, Russia.

CROWLEY: Chinese Communist Party, the Russians, and deeply corrupt entities and regimes like Ukraine. 6 24

RAYMOND ARROYO (HOST): Monica, you worked in the Trump White House, so you know optics. If you were going to liken your political opponents to Nazis, maybe employing a backdrop that looks like it could have come out of 1940s Germany and then this opening was not the way to go.

[...]

Monica, can you remember an example of a primetime address by a president so laced with ugly and divisive political rhetoric and a backdrop that looked like that?

MONICA CROWLEY (GUEST): Well, first of all, yeah, the imagery there was almost satanic with that blood red lighting and the two Marines behind him. It was just insane.

an 8 22

On August 20, 2022, Donald Trump will have been gone from the White House for 19 months. But Trump, unlike other former presidents, hasn’t disappeared from the headlines by any means — and on Monday, August 8, the most prominent topic on cable news was the FBI executing a search warrant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in South Florida. Countless Republicans, from Fox News hosts to Trump himself, have been furiously railing against the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). And in an article published by Politico on August 11, reporters Kyle Cheney and Meridith McGraw describe the atmosphere of “paranoia” and suspicion that has become even worse in Trumpworld since the search.

“A wave of concern and even paranoia is gripping parts of Trumpworld as federal investigators tighten their grip on the former president and his inner circle,” Cheney and McGraw explain. “In the wake of news that the FBI agents executed a court-authorized search warrant at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, Trump’s allies and aides have begun buzzing about a host of potential explanations and worries. Among those being bandied about is that the search was a pretext to fish for other incriminating evidence, that the FBI doctored evidence to support its search warrant — and then planted some incriminating materials and recording devices at Mar-a-Lago for good measure — and even that the timing of the search was meant to be a historical echo of the day President Richard Nixon resigned in 1974.”

It was on August 8, 1974 that Nixon, overwhelmed by the Watergate scandal, announced his resignation. The following day, Vice President Gerald R. Ford was sworn in as president. And right-wing pundit Monica Crowley, on Steve Bannon’s “War Room,” claimed it was no coincidence that the FBI chose August 8 to execute the search warrant.

Crowley told “War Room” listeners, “There are no coincidences when it comes to the Deep State. They could have done this raid a couple of days before or tomorrow, but they chose August 8 for a reason.”

Cheney and McGraw stress that while Trumpworld is “deeply suspicious, even conspiratorial” to begin with, the Mar-a-Lago raid has made their “paranoia” even worse.

“Trump allies have begun pushing conspiracies to explain away the probe,” according to Cheney and McGraw. “The chatter was fed, in part, by two articles, one in Axios the other in Newsweek, that suggested someone high up within Trump’s orbit had flipped and was cooperating with the government and that detailed the belief among some Trump hands that they had a mole. By late Wednesday afternoon, it had become an openly discussed topic on Fox News. And a story in the Wall Street Journal indicated that, in fact, a witness had been aiding investigators, telling the FBI that not all classified records had been disclosed during early negotiations and helping investigators pinpoint the location of missing records.”

The Politico reporters continue, “But the more aggressively pushed theory by Trump allies, at least in public, was the idea that evidence might have been planted by the FBI on the premises. Trump himself floated the idea in a post on his social media site, and it was amplified bySen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), as well as Fox News hosts like Jesse Watters, and even Trump’s own lawyer.”

Trump has chosen Monica Crowley as assistant secretary for public affairs in the U.S. Treasury Department. And CNN is reporting that Trump’s pick for the position is a far-right conspiracy theorist who promoted the racist “birther” lie as well as the claim that President Barack Obama was a secret Muslim.

When Obama was serving his two terms as president, the term “birther” was used to describe those who bought into the conspiracy theory that Obama wasn’t really a U.S. citizen and was born in Kenya. Trump and his wife Melania Trump were birthers, as were alt-right author Jerome Corsi and Crowley — who, as CNN reports, applauded Trump’s birtherism. In an April 2011 blog post, Crowley insisted that the ludicrous birther claims of Trump and others were perfectly legitimate

“For over 2 1/2 years,” Crowley wrote, “questions have been raised about Obama’s origins and background. He was never properly vetted by an adoring press corps; so, outstanding concerns existed about his birth certificate.”

There never were any “legitimate” concerns about Obama’s birth certificate, which clearly states that he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4, 1961. It was a figment of Crowley’s imagination.

During the Obama years, Crowley also insisted that Obama’s loyalty was to radical Islam rather than the United States. Never mind the fact that al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, on May 12, 2011, was killed by U.S. Navy SEALs after Obama ordered an operation to either capture him or, if necessary, kill him.

CNN’s report shows how irrational Crowley was in her Islamophobia, noting that when Obama was president, she insisted, “Obama was born to a Muslim father, which under Islam, automatically made him a Muslim. He says he converted to Christianity as an adult, which under Islam, makes him an apostate. He grew up in Indonesia, which is the most populous Muslim nation on earth. His stepfather was also a Muslim. He was steeped in Islam throughout his formative years; so, it should come as no surprise that he has loyalties to Islam.”

Crowley also said, “It may not come as a shock that he appears loyal to Islam. The question is: can he be both loyal to Islam and loyal to the United States?”

Crowley is a former talk radio host and Fox News contributor.

Another of President Donald Trump’s nominees has been caught fudging their academic and professional bonafides, according to The Hill.

Joseph Otting — Trump’s nominee for the U.S. Treasury’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency — reportedly lied when he said on his resume that he holds a degree from the “School of Credit and Financial Management at Dartmouth College.”

Dartmouth — an Ivy League university that was founded in Hanover, New Hampshire in 1769 — has never had a school of credit and financial management, nor does any such college operate out of any Dartmouth facility.

“Joseph Otting is not a Dartmouth graduate,” said university spokeswoman Diana Lawrence to New England Cable News on Wednesday. “Dartmouth does not have a school of credit and financial management.”

The only program bearing the name “School of Credit and Financial Management” associated with Dartmouth was a four-week certificate program spread over two years that was provided by National Association of Credit Management, a Maryland-based nonprofit that provides credit and financial professionals with continuing education opportunities. For a short time, the course was offered on the Dartmouth College campus.

Otting has a bachelor’s degree and The Hill reported that if nominated, he will be the first U.S. comptroller in decades not to hold an advanced degree.

The White House confirmed Otting’s “error” on Friday, saying that “Bloomberg’s characterization of Mr. Otting’s credentials is correct.”

Bloomberg News said Friday, “Records from the program, which is run for two weeks each year by the National Association of Credit Management, confirm that Otting graduated in 1992 when he was a mid-level manager at Union Bank in Beverly Hills, California.”

In addition to Otting, Trump’s nominees for other posts have been felled due to plagiarism our outright lies about their qualifications. Sheriff David Clarke of Milwaukee whiffed a nomination to the Department of Homeland Security of plagiarized passages in his master’s thesis.

Former Fox News personality Monica Crowley was forced to step down from a post as Trump’s deputy national security adviser after it was revealed that she plagiarized portions of her Ph.D. dissertation in 2000. Crowley was also ordered to retroactively register as a foreign agent of Ukrainian interests operating in the United States earlier this year.

Former Breitbart.com terrorism “expert” and suspected neo-Nazi Sebastian Gorka’s insistence on being referred to as “Dr. Gorka” in press appearance became ultimately risible when a real terrorism expert revealed this spring that Gorka was awarded his doctorate for what was essentially a lengthy blog post he dubbed his “dissertation.”

That work was, in turn, was adjudicated by a committee of his political allies and cronies in Hungary, who then conferred upon Gorka his Ph.D.

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/laura-ingraham-trump-press-secretary-position-231840

Laura Ingraham doesn’t want to be just another flack.

The popular conservative-radio talk show host is willing to accept the position of White House press secretary in Donald Trump’s administration, but she wants a bigger title, a role in policymaking and a seat at the decision-making table with the president, according to a source familiar with the discussions.

It’s not yet clear how Ingraham, a regular on Fox News who boosted Trump's anti-establishment candidacy throughout the campaign, would mesh with the rival power centers that currently define Trump’s inner circle. On one pole is senior adviser and Breitbart News publisher Steve Bannon, who represents the rejection of the Republican establishment, and on the other is incoming chief of staff and outgoing Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, who represents the continued influence of the Washington insiders on Trump, and a connection to House Speaker Paul Ryan.

Trump's inner circle is also tossing around the possibility of Fox News analyst Monica Crowley as press secretary. The longtime Trump believer, who describes herself as a “happy warrior” in her Twitter bio, was an early advocate for Trump. Back when he announced his seemingly quixotic presidential bid in June 2015, Crowley warned on Fox News not to underestimate the real estate mogul. Last June, she penned an article for The Washington Times titled “How Donald Trump is resurrecting the ‘great, silent majority.’”

Ingraham has made no secret of her interest in the press secretary gig, a high-profile position that could put her in front of the White House press corps — and in front of the cameras — every day. Ingraham, a Fox News contributorand former Supreme Court clerk, is against same-sex marriage and was a supporter of Trump’s proposal during the campaign to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. — a ban he has softened on since clinching the Republican nomination in May.

“I would say it’s not broad enough,” Ingraham said on her radio show in December 2015.

Ingraham has confirmed that her name is in the mix and hinted, in her public comments addressing the speculation, that she wants a role in shaping the Trump agenda. But she apparently wants a title that elevates her beyond just dominating the spin cycle.

“It’s a big decision, but I’m at the point where, if my country needs me, and if I can do something to actually, you know, advance the Trump agenda, which is stuff I have written about now for 15 years, with trade, immigration and just renewing America, then I obviously have to seriously consider that,” she told Fox’s Tucker Carlson.

For now, the public-facing communications team is made of campaign spokesman Jason Miller and RNC spokesman Sean Spicer. The duo are currently in charge of the transition team's daily press calls and are also said to be in the mix of potential podium picks. The team is also considering other names that have yet to be made public, a source familiar with the transition team's conversations said.

A Fox News spokeswoman referred POLITICO to Ingraham's own recent comments about her potential official government post on the news channel. Ingraham and the Trump campaign also did not respond to requests for comment.

If Crowley instead gets the job, it would be another example of an early Trump believer being rewarded with a White House position. On Fox News, Crowley argued during the campaign that questions about Hillary Clinton’s health were legitimate for Trump to raise, and she herself questioned Clinton’s honesty about her medical conditions after her public collapse at the 9/11 Memorial. Clinton released a doctor's note that said she had walking pneumonia, and she recovered within days.
