Crowley, who joined Fox News upon its inception in 1996, would succeed spokesman Tony Sayegh, who is expected to leave next month.



The former New York Post columnist is currently a regular contributor to the "John Batchelor Show," a nationally syndicated radio program.

Crowley was originally set to join the Trump administration as a senior communications aide to former national security adviser Michael Flynn in 2016, but dropped out of contention following a CNN report with allegations of plagiarizing part of her 2012 book, "What the (Bleep) Just Happened," and in a dissertation submitted in 2000.



The Hill has reached out to the Treasury Department and Crowley for comment.
