Trump national security pick Monica Crowley plagiarized multiple sources in 2012 book

Source: CNN

Conservative author and television personality Monica Crowley, whom Donald Trump has tapped for a top national security communications role, plagiarized large sections of her 2012 book, a CNN KFile review has found.

The review of Crowleys June 2012 book, "What The (Bleep) Just Happened," found upwards of 50 examples of plagiarism from numerous sources, including the copying with minor changes of news articles, other columnists, think tanks, and Wikipedia. The New York Times bestseller, published by the HarperCollins imprint Broadside Books, contains no notes or bibliography.

Crowley did not return a request for comment. Multiple requests for comment by phone and email over the past two days to HarperCollins went unreturned.

I teach an ethics course that focuses a lot on plagiarism, but I’ve never seen anything on this scale

long ago by HarperCollins and FAUX,

shows how much they care about integrity.

It's really not hard to not do it."
