White House nominates new Head for USAGM

A slightly gleeful Yahoo article notes that
[t]wo-time failed gubernatorial candidate Lake was removed from the role after U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan administration nominee, ruled on Saturday that she had been running the agency in violation of the law, labeling her a “de facto” CEO.
