Heather Nauert withdraws her name from consideration for UN Ambassador job
2019-02-17
[The Hill] State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert withdrew her name from consideration for the nomination of U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations on Saturday.

The State Department made the announcement in a release.

"I am grateful to President Trump and Secretary Pompeo for the trust they have placed in me for considering me for the position of U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations," Nauert wrote Saturday. "However, the past two months have been grueling for my family and therefore it is in the best interest of my family that I withdraw my name from consideration."

It wasn't clear from the release whether Nauert would continue on serving as the State Department's spokeswoman.

"Heather Nauert has performed her duties as a senior member of my team with unequalled [sic] excellence," Secretary of State Mike Pompeo added in the press release.

A State Department spokesperson said the department had nothing more to add about future personnel changes, and referred back to the the statement released by the agency.

#1  Extremely cute and probably as dumb as they come. This ambassadorship is a huge launching pad for mediocrities. The horrendous Nikki Haley comes to mind.
