Julia Hahn, a reporter for Breitbart News who has written articles critical of House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), will reportedly join her former boss Steve Bannon in President Donald Trump’s administration.
Hahn is expected to serve as special assistant to the President, according to a Politico report, which cited two anonymous sources briefed on her move.
She would work primarily under Bannon, the former Breitbart News chairman who now serves as Trump’s chief strategist in the West Wing, according to the report.
Reached Monday morning by phone, Hahn told TPM that she is “not talking to the press.” The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Hahn previously worked as a producer on conservative radio host Laura Ingraham’s show, according to Politico’s report. She later served as press secretary for Rep. David Brat (R-VA), according to the Huffington Post.
During and after the 2016 election, Hahn published numerous stories critical of Ryan and his policies under her byline at Breitbart. Trump’s relationship with Ryan on the campaign trail was often adversarial.
The President is scheduled to meet with the House Speaker on Monday night.
More swamp creatures.
Raise your hand if you’re surprised.
Impeachment Countdown - Day 3
Bright light and fresh air are not her friends…
Still no one with government experience, knowledge of how to work with Congress. Just more propagandists and sycophants…
Congress will meekly tag along…
The prospect of creating a new Conservative Manifesto will silence the spineless congress cretins.
