Former State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert has been picked by President Donald Trump to serve on the panel that helps oversee the White House's prestigious fellowships, The Hill reports.
Nauert in February withdrew from consideration as the United States' next ambassador to the United Nations, as her impending nomination had been considered a tough sell in the Senate. A potential issue involving a nanny she and her husband had employed might also have been a factor in her decision to withdraw, according to one aide.
Trump picked Nauert for the UN role.
Nauert, a former Fox News channel reporter, joined the State Department two years ago while Rex Tillerson was secretary of state.
