Trump Nominates Monica Crowley for Key State Department Role

The former Fox News contributor and Trump administration official is tapped to oversee major U.S. events as Chief of Protocol.

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Monica Crowley for the roles of Ambassador, Assistant Secretary of State, and Chief of Protocol in his second administration.
Crowley will represent the U.S. at significant upcoming events, including America’s 250th anniversary, the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
Crowley previously served as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Public Affairs during Trump’s first term and received the Alexander Hamilton Award for her service.
Her nomination follows a trend of Trump selecting former Fox News contributors and personalities for key positions in his administration.
Crowley’s past controversies include allegations of plagiarism in her doctoral dissertation and a book, which she has described as politically motivated attacks.
