"US Agency for Global Media senior advisor Kari Lake has blocked Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty from broadcasting into Iran using a USAGM transmitter located in Kuwait, reported Oliver Darcy in his Status newsletter. Lake narrowly lost the 2022 Arizona governor's race to Democrat Katie Hobbs, and since then has paired her support for former President Donald Trump's baseless claims of fraud in the 2020 election with her own unfounded accusations that her election was stolen from her as well."
"After she lost the 2024 Arizona Senate race to Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), Lake vowed she wouldn't run for office again, but she wasn't done with politics; her unwavering loyalty to Trump scored her an appointment to serve as the senior advisor for USAGM. (Lake has identified herself as the acting CEO of USAGM, but the legal status of that title is under dispute.)"
Kari Lake blocked Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty from broadcasting into Iran using a USAGM transmitter located in Kuwait. Lake narrowly lost the 2022 Arizona governor's race and the 2024 Senate race and supported former President Trump's 2020 fraud claims while asserting without evidence that her own elections were stolen. Her loyalty to Trump led to an appointment as senior advisor at the U.S. Agency for Global Media, a title she has described as acting CEO while its legal status is disputed. Advocates criticize her tenure for massive staff cuts and reductions to USAGM programs amid escalating protests in Iran.
