Trump Communications Appointee Steps Down Amid Plagiarism Revelations
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Donald Trump's pick for a senior communications job at the National
Security Council, Monica Crowley, has stepped down after a CNN
investigation uncovered repeated incidents of plagiarism. The radio talk
show host and Fox News contributor said she would relinquish her
appointment and would remain in New York. Her announcement came after
CNN reported incidents of plagiarism in her 2012 book, her columns for
The Washington Times and her 2000 Ph. D. dissertation for Columbia
University.
