The Trump administration’s dismantling of the agency that oversees Voice of America and other government-funded news operations was necessary because it is “incompetent, corrupt, biased, and a threat to America’s national security and standing in the world,” Kari Lake told a House committee Wednesday.

Making her first-ever appearance before Congress, Lake defended her tenure and said the U.S. Agency for Global Media needs to be shrunk until it can be eliminated.
