Trump Nominates Scott Brown As US Ambassador To New Zealand

Source: Talking Points Memo



By ESME CRIBB Published APRIL 20, 2017, 11:11 AM EDT

President Donald Trump on Thursday nominated former Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) as U.S. ambassador to New Zealand.

In a statement announcing Brown’s nomination, the White House noted his career in politics and law, as well as his work as a “political contributor” at Fox News.

In February, amid speculation that Trump was considering Brown for the position, the New Zealand Herald gave readers a succinct summary of the former senator’s “colourful past” in a story headlined “Man tipped for US ambassador role in NZ a former nude model who supports waterboarding.”

working on getting trademarks for Ivanka's jewelry, shoes, and handbags. And looking around for good locations for Trump hotels, resorts, and golf courses. And making contacts with whoever runs NZ organized crime, and which are the best ways to launder money.
