President-elect Donald Trump handed author and TV pundit Monica Crowley her White House walking papers Sunday, an administration insider told True Pundit.

Crowley was slated to become a senior communications advisor in the Trump White House. However, recent allegations that Crowley plagiarized in a 2012 book and her writings for the Washington Times gave incoming press secretary Sean Spicer and Trump transition gurus serious pause to allow Crowley a seat at the White House table.

Crowley released a statement on Monday to her newspaper employer, the Washington Times.
