Kari Lake said the Trump administration is putting the United States government on a diet through spending cuts, and that she will contribute by slashing the United States Agency for Global Media budget.
Lake, President Donald Trump’s nominee to be director of the Voice of America, is currently serving as special adviser to Voice of America’s parent organization, United States Agency for Global Media. Appearing on Steve Bannon’s podcast “The War Room,” she said she’s working to scale back the agency to its “bare minimum”, in alignment with the president’s recent executive order aimed in part at lowering federal spending on media.
