Trump Appoints Plagiarist as National Security Spokeswoman

Trump appoints Fox News’ Monica Crowley to national security team

Report: Trump Aide's Book Has Over 60 Instances of Plagiarism

Former Fox News personality-turned-Donald-Trump-aide Monica Crowley has been accused of plagiarizing large parts of her 2012 book.

A report by CNN's Kfile on Saturday said Crowley's bestselling book “What The (Bleep) Just Happened” is riddled with stolen passages. The report pointed out dozens of excerpts that were reportedly lifted from other sources, including news articles, columns, essays by think tanks, and even Wikipedia. Crowley allegedly stole word-for-word phrases from all the most well-known news organizations, including the Associated Press, the BBC, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. The report alleges that she also snatched entire sections from certain websites and news articles, including a piece on Keynesian economics from Investopedia.


In other instances, the report says, Crowley relied on one of her friends, National Review author Andrew C. McCarthy, taking whole passages from his work. The report provides a side-by-side comparison of each original piece of writing with the plagiarized version. The copied sources are too vast to list, though it appears she has branched out since earlier plagiarism allegations against her in 1999. At that time, Slate said a column by Crowley in the Wall Street Journal had actually been stolen from a 1988 article in a neoconservative magazine. Crowley, who denied it at the time, has yet to comment on the latest claims against her. But a statement from Trump's transition team dismissed the accusations as an “attempt to discredit” her. Crowley, who was praised by Trump's team for her “exceptional insight and thoughtful work,” is due to become Trump's senior director of strategic communications for the National Security Council. HarperCollins, the publisher of her book, also has yet to comment on the matter.

P.S.

Crowley, 48, gained notoriety for feeding into Trump's debunked "birther" conspiracy,
which falsely suggested that President Obama was not eligible to become President
because he's supposedly a Kenyan immigrant with a fabricated U.S. birth certificate.

Monica Crowley, recently appointed by President-elect Donald Trump to a key national security communications job, said Monday that she would relinquish the post amid multiple allegations of plagiarism.

Crowley, who has been named senior director of strategic communications at the National Security Council, said in a statement that “after much reflection,” she had decided to remain in New York and “will not be taking a position in the incoming administration.”

“I greatly appreciate being asked to be part of President-elect Trump’s team and I will continue to enthusiastically support him and his agenda for American renewal,” Crowley said in the statement, in which she made no mention of the plagiarism charges.

The publisher of a 2012 book by Crowley said last week that it will stop selling copies until she addresses allegations of plagiarism. Crowley, a conservative pundit, is also under fire for allegedly plagiarizing passages in her PhD dissertation at Columbia University.

The plagiarism charges were originally reported by CNN and Politico.

Crowley was to have worked for national security adviser Michael T. Flynn, a retired Army lieutenant general.

“The NSC will miss the opportunity to have Monica Crowley as part of our team,” Flynn said in a statement. “We wish her all the best in her future.”

When the plagiarism charges first surfaced, the Trump transition team defended Crowley, putting out a statement praising her “exceptional insight and thoughtful work on how to turn this country around.”

“Any attempt to discredit Monica is nothing more than a politically motivated attack that seeks to distract from the real issues facing this country,” the statement said.

As a White House aide, Crowley would not have faced confirmation proceedings.

In the aftermath of her appointment, CNN reported that Crowley's book, “What the (Bleep) Just Happened?” lifted work from columnists, news reports, articles and think tanks without proper attribution.

“The book, which has reached the end of its natural sales cycle, will no longer be offered for purchase until such time as the author has the opportunity to source and revise the material,” publisher HarperCollins said in a statement last week.

Politico reported that Crowley’s 2000 dissertation contained more than a dozen sections of text that were lifted, with little to no changes, from scholarly works without proper attribution.

The dissertation was titled “Clearer Than Truth: Determining and Preserving Grand Strategy: The Evolution of American Policy Toward the People’s Republic of China Under Truman and Nixon.”
