Fox Anchor Heather Nauert Said to Land Spokeswoman Job at State

  • Nauert is second from Fox News for State public affairs post
  • Press briefings at State are set to resume next week

Fox News anchor Heather Nauert has been hired as spokeswoman for the State Department, becoming the public voice of an agency largely quiet since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Nauert, news anchor on the morning “Fox & Friends” program that is one of Trump’s favorites, accepted the job this week, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the decision hasn’t been formally announced. Nauert didn’t return an email seeking comment.
