Once among the most prominent pro-Trump cable-news stars, Scottie Nell Hughes is now apparently working for RT, the Kremlin-backed propaganda outlet.

It appears Scottie Nell Hughes has a new job—at a news outlet frequently criticized as a propaganda outfit for the Russian government.

Just a couple years ago, Hughes was one of the most nationally visible and hardcore Trumpworld luminaries. The conservative author and onetime Tea Party News Network news director frequently appeared on CNN as a prominent pro-Trump contributor. She was praised and oft-watched by Donald J. Trump himself, enjoyed some face time with him during the 2016 race, and campaigned for him as an early supporter in 2015.

She was a high-profile enough Trump booster that she was even lampooned on NBC’s long-running comedy show Saturday Night Live, in a 2016 sketch she knocked at the time as an example of “the ultimate sexism.”

Hughes wanted a job in the Trump administration, or to at least remain a player in news media or the commentariat. Then, after the dust settled from Trump’s shock election-night victory, she found herself without a White House gig, and later at the center of a media scandal where she sued Fox for allegedly blacklisting her after she accused Fox Business Network host Charles Payne of rape.

Since last year, Hughes had seemed an exile in the pro-Trump communities in which she once was a star. “I’m dead in the water now,” she told The Washington Post late last year. “I can’t be touched by any media or any network.”
