Official fired during Trump’s first term appointed president of embattled US Institute of Peace
- In Washington on July 26, a senior State Department official fired during Trump's first term was appointed to lead USIP, amid ongoing turmoil and legal reversals.
- Following the administration's February executive order, the US Institute of Peace was embroiled in turmoil since Trump moved to dismantle it, firing most of its board and nearly all 300 employees in the 'Friday night massacre'.
- Serving concurrently as under secretary for public diplomacy, Beattie was fired in Trump's first term after CNN reported his speech at a 2016 white nationalist conference, and the USIP board includes Rubio and Hegseth.
- Upon reviewing the firings, Judge Beryl A. Howell overturned the board actions in May, allowing USIP to regain control of its headquarters and concluding Trump lacked authority.
- The move is seen by critics as undermining USIP's independence, while Congress funds it to promote global peace and conflict prevention.
