Monica
Crowley on Monday announced that she would give up the position she was
slated to take in Donald Trump’s White House. Crowley, Trump’s pick to
be senior director of strategic communications at the National Security
Council, announced her decision amid allegations of widespread
plagiarism in her work. “After much reflection I have decided to remain
in New York to pursue other opportunities and will not be taking a
position in the incoming administration,” she said in a statement. “I
greatly appreciate being asked to be part of President-elect Trump’s
team and I will continue to enthusiastically support him and his agenda
for American renewal,” she said. Incoming National Security Adviser
Michael T. Flynn, with whom Crowley would have worked, said in a brief
statement that the council would “miss the opportunity” to work with
her. A report by CNN earlier this month pinpointed dozens of
passages in her 2012 bestselling book which it said were plagiarized
from news outlets, think tanks and even Wikipedia.
