Trump nominates Kari Lake as ambassador to Jamaica and Doug Mastriano as ambassador to Slovakia

President Trump announced the nomination of Kari Lake, former head of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, to serve as ambassador to Jamaica, and Doug Mastriano to serve as ambassador to Slovakia. Lake's appointment comes two months after a federal judge overturned her efforts to largely shut down Voice of America. Both nominees must be confirmed by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the full Senate.

The split, in one line

The Times and Examiner emphasize Lake's failed attempt to shut down Voice of America, while Politico frames her as a failed gubernatorial candidate. The Hill reports the basic facts. Mastriano's Capitol attendance before Jan. 6 gets prominent coverage only in the Examiner.
