President Donald Trump is set to hire a conservative journalist who was fired as a White House speechwriter during his first term, according to ABC News.

Darren Beattie was let go in 2018 after it was discovered that he had spoken at a conference linked to white nationalists, The Washington Post reported at the time.

Beattie, who has made unproven claims about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, could become acting undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs at the State Department as early as Monday.
