Trump Nominates Conservative Activist Brent Bozell to Lead US Agency for Global Media

Bozell, founder of the Media Research Center, awaits Senate confirmation to oversee taxpayer-funded broadcasters like Voice of America and Radio Free Europe.

President Trump announced Brent Bozell as his nominee for CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, a Senate-confirmed position.
Bozell is the founder of the conservative Media Research Center and has been a vocal supporter of Trump in recent years.
The U.S. Agency for Global Media manages government-funded broadcasters targeting audiences in countries with restrictive media environments.
Bozell's son, convicted for his role in the January 6 Capitol attack, was recently pardoned by Trump, raising questions about the nomination.
This move follows Trump's earlier appointment of Kari Lake to lead Voice of America, prompting concerns over media independence under his administration.
