Monica Crowley, a Fox News commentator, radio personality and supporter of Donald Trump, has been named senior director of strategic communications for the National Security Council, Trump's transition team announced Thursday.
Crowley, who has been a vocal supporter of Trump since the beginning of his presidential campaign, will work under retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, whom Trump has selected to be national security adviser. She will join former Fox News national security analyst, K.T. McFarland, who has already been selected to serve as deputy national security adviser.
A FOX News spokesperson told POLITICO that Crowley’s contract had been terminated in wake of the announcement. Crowley, who had also been a columnist and the online opinion editor at The Washington Times, stepped down from both positions in the wake of her appointment, executive editor Christopher Dolan told POLITICO.
POLITICO first reported that Trump’s transition team was considering Crowley as part of the incoming administration, possibly as press secretary. The Daily Beast was first to report that Crowley had been appointed to a National Security Council position.
Crowley was formerly a foreign policy assistant and communications director for former President Richard Nixon.

Career
s a student, Crowley began writing letters to former President Richard Nixon, who hired her as a research assistant in 1990[ 4 ] when she was 22 years old.[ 3 ][ 5 ] She was an editorial adviser and consultant on Nixon's last two books, and following Nixon's death, she published two books about him.
In the mid-1990s Crowley wrote a regular column for the New York Post.[citation needed] She has also written for The New Yorker,[ 6 ] The Washington Times,[ 7 ] The Wall Street Journal,[ 8 ] the Los Angeles Times, and the Baltimore Sun.
Radio
Crowley was a commentator for National Public Radio's Morning Edition in the mid-1990s.[ 9 ] Since 2002, she has had her own radio show, The Monica Crowley Show, which is also available as a podcast on iTunes[ 10 ], and she is a regular contributor to the John Batchelor Show.
Television
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 is also an occasional guest host on the daily (5:00 pm ET) Fox opinion show, The Five.
Crowley appeared in the Netflix original series of House of Cards, portraying herself.
In an 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."[ 11 ] Following the election of President Donald Trump, it was announced in December 2016 that Crowley would join the Trump administration as a deputy national security advisor. Following this announcement, Fox News terminated her contract with the network at Crowley's request.[ 12 ]
Consulting
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.[ 13 ][ 14 ]
It was reported in April 2019 that Crowley was in talks to become Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs in the Treasury Department. Crowley would replace Tony Sayegh as the top spokeswoman for Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.[ 15 ]
Plagiarism controversy
In 1999, Crowley was accused of plagiarism related to a column on Richard Nixon she wrote for The Wall Street Journal[ 8 ] containing "striking similarities" (according to the Journal) to a piece written 11 years earlier by Paul Johnson.[ 16 ][ 17 ] When reached by The New York Times for comment, Crowley responded, "I did not, nor would I ever, use material from a source without citing it."[ 17 ] 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.[ 18 ] In a statement, the Trump transition team called the plagiarism report "nothing more than a politically motivated attack" and stood by her.[ 19 ]
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.[ 16 ][ 20 ] The next day, HarperCollins, which had published What the (Bleep) Just Happened?, announced:[ 21 ]
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.[ 22 ] 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.[ 23 ]
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."[ 24 ] Andrew Kaczynski, the CNN reporter who first reported instances of plagiarism in Crowley's book, called her claims of innocence false and "complete BS,"[ 24 ] 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."[ 25 ]
Personal life
Crowley grew up in central New Jersey.[ 3 ]
Crowley's brother-in-law was the late liberal political commentator Alan Colmes, who was married to Crowley's sister, Dr. Jocelyn Elise Crowley, a professor of public policy at Rutgers University.[ 26 ]

Trump says he's draining the swamp as he fills Cabinet with ex-lobbyists
BY KATHRYN WATSON
UPDATED ON: JUNE 20, 2019 / 1:05 PM / CBS NEWS
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-says-hes-draining-the-swamp-as-he-fills-cabinet-with-ex-lobbyists/
President Trump campaigned on draining the swamp, and says he's doing just that, although it's unclear at times what his definition of "the swamp" is.
"We're draining the swamp," President Trump told his exuberant crowd in Orlando as he launched his reelection campaign Tuesday night , hours after announcing former Raytheon head lobbyist Mark Esper would replace former Boeing executive Patrick Shanahan as acting defense secretary.
Mr. Trump, who pledged to drain the swamp of special interests, has filled his Cabinet with a number of former representatives of special interests. Esper, who has been serving as the Army secretary, was next in line to take over as acting defense secretary with Shanahan out after news of past domestic violence involving his family complicated his intended nomination. The choice of Esper was not lost on good government advocates and critics of the administration.

F.B.I. Is Investigating Trump’s Russia Ties, Comey Confirms，
( FBI、トランプのロシア関係を調査中、Comey 証言（確認）する）
The New York Times
By MATT APUZZO, MATTHEW ROSENBERG and EMMARIE HUETTEMANMARCH 20, 2017
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/20/us/politics/fbi-investigation-trump-russia-comey.html?_r=0
WASHINGTON − The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, took the extraordinary step on Monday of announcing that the agency is investigating whether members of President Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election.
Mr. Comey’s testimony before the House Intelligence Committee created a treacherous political moment for Mr. Trump, who has insisted that “Russia is fake news” that was cooked up by his political opponents to undermine his presidency. Mr. Comey placed a criminal investigation at the doorstep of the White House and said officers would pursue it “no matter how long that takes.”
Joined by Adm. Michael S. Rogers, the director of the National Security Agency, Mr. Comey also dismissed Mr. Trump’s claim that he was wiretapped by his predecessor during the campaign, a sensational accusation that has served as a distraction in the public debate over Russian election interference. Taken together, the two provided the most definitive statement yet that Mr. Trump’s accusation was false.
The New York Times and other news organizations have reported the existence of the investigation into the Trump campaign and its relationship with Russia, but the White House dismissed those reports as politically motivated and rallied political allies to rebut them. Mr. Comey’s testimony on Monday was the first public acknowledgment of the case. The F.B.I. discloses its investigations only in rare circumstances, when officials believe it is in the public interest.
“This is one of those circumstances,” Mr. Comey said.
Mr. Comey said the F.B.I. was “investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government, and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia’s efforts.”
Counterintelligence investigations are among the F.B.I.’s most difficult and time-consuming cases, meaning an investigation could hang over the Trump administration for years even though such inquiries rarely lead to criminal charges.
American intelligence agencies concluded in January that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia personally ordered a covert effort to hurt Hillary Clinton’s chances and aid Mr. Trump. That included hacking political targets, including the Democratic National Committee, and releasing embarrassing emails through the website WikiLeaks.
he White House dismissed most of Mr. Comey’s testimony, saying there was no coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia and so there was nothing to investigate. Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, said the more pressing issue was who disclosed classified information about Mr. Trump’s advisers to journalists, suggesting that they might have been former members of the Obama administration.

American officials have said that they have so far found no proof of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, but current and former officials say they have uncovered evidence that Mr. Trump’s associates were in repeated contact with Russian officials − including people linked to Russian intelligence.
Roger J. Stone Jr., a longtime adviser to Mr. Trump, has acknowledged communicating with Guccifer 2.0 , an online persona believed to be a front for Russian intelligence officials involved in disseminating hacked Democratic emails. Mr. Stone has denied that there was anything improper about the contact, and he was one of many, including political operatives and journalists, to communicate with the hackers.
Last July, the month that WikiLeaks began releasing the hacked emails , Carter Page, a foreign policy adviser to Mr. Trump, visited Moscow for a speaking engagement. Mr. Page has declined to say whom he met there, but he has said they were mostly scholars.
Michael T. Flynn, a Trump campaign adviser who went on to be his national security adviser, was paid more than $65,000 by companies linked to Russia in 2015, including an American branch of a cybersecurity firm believed to have connections to Russia’s intelligence services, according to congressional investigators. Mr. Flynn was forced to resign after misrepresenting his conversations with the Russian ambassador to the United States.
Mr. Comey said Russia used a murky network of government officials, oligarchs, business leaders and others close to Mr. Putin to gather intelligence. But he repeatedly sidestepped specific questions about Mr. Trump’s advisers, and acknowledged that American citizens sometimes did not realize they were talking to foreign agents. He said the existence of an investigation did not mean the F.B.I. would ever prove wrongdoing.
Nevertheless, Democrats repeatedly highlighted the Trump campaign’s Russian connections as they painted Mr. Trump as a candidate who adopted pro-Russia views and courted Russian interests.
“Is it possible that all of these events and reports are completely unrelated and nothing more than an entirely unhappy coincidence?” said Representative Adam B. Schiff of California, the intelligence committee’s top Democrat. “Yes, it is possible. But it is also possible, maybe more than possible, that they are not coincidental, not disconnected and not unrelated.”
Mr. Comey, testifying for more than five hours, said there was no evidence that Russian hackers had changed any votes in the election. The statement was quickly spun by the White House, which posted that clip of Mr. Comey’s testimony on Twitter.

ＦＢＩ 「トランプ陣営、昨７月から捜査」露サイバー攻撃
毎日新聞 2017年3月21日 11時28分(最終更新 3月21日 12時31分)
http://mainichi.jp/articles/20170321/k00/00e/030/187000c?fm=mnm
【ワシントン朴鐘珠】昨年の米大統領選にロシアがサイバー攻撃で介入したとされる問題で、米連邦捜査局（ＦＢＩ）のコミー長官は２０日に開かれた下院情報特別委員会の公聴会で、ロシア政府とトランプ米大統領の陣営が協力した可能性を昨年７月から捜査していると明らかにした。
トランプ氏のライバルのクリントン陣営の電子メールが内部告発サイト「ウィキリークス」に暴露された時期と重なり、ＦＢＩが早い段階から、トランプ陣営とロシア政府とのつながりを疑っていたことが示された。
機密情報に関する捜査の進展状況をＦＢＩが公にするのは極めて異例で、コミー氏は「一般国民の関心が高い特異な状況であるため」と説明。捜査の詳細に関しては、現在も捜査中であることを理由に証言を拒んだ。捜査終結のめどについても「非常に複雑な作業のため、全く見通しが立たない」と述べた。
スパイサー大統領報道官は２０日の定例会見で、「捜査をすることと（実際に犯罪の）証拠を見つけることは別の話だ」と反論した。
オバマ前政権は昨年末、ロシア外交官３５人の国外追放などの制裁措置をとり、今年１月６日には、クリントン陣営を狙ったサイバー攻撃はプーチン露大統領の指示だったとする報告書を発表した。
コミー氏は公聴会で、大統領選中にオバマ前政権から盗聴されたとするトランプ氏の主張について「肯定する情報を持っていない」とも証言。公聴会には国家安全保障局（ＮＳＡ）のロジャース局長も出席し、両氏はＦＢＩ、ＮＳＡ、司法省がいずれも盗聴の証拠を確認できないと認めた。トランプ氏による今月４日のツイッターへの投稿で浮上した盗聴疑惑に関し、ＦＢＩとＮＳＡが公式に見解を示したのは初めて。
主張の根拠のなさが露呈したトランプ氏は、大統領選を巡るＦＢＩ捜査も含め、苦しい立場に立たされた格好だ。上下両院の情報特別委員会はロシアによるサイバー攻撃を究明する傍ら、トランプ氏の盗聴疑惑についても調査してきた。

ＦＢＩ 「トランプ陣営、昨７月から捜査」露サイバー攻撃

【ワシントン朴鐘珠】昨年の米大統領選にロシアがサイバー攻撃で介入したとされる問題で、米連邦捜査局（ＦＢＩ）のコミー長官は２０日に開かれた下院情報特別委員会の公聴会で、ロシア政府とトランプ米大統領の陣営が協力した可能性を昨年７月から捜査していると明らかにした。
トランプ氏のライバルのクリントン陣営の電子メールが内部告発サイト「ウィキリークス」に暴露された時期と重なり、ＦＢＩが早い段階から、トランプ陣営とロシア政府とのつながりを疑っていたことが示された。
