Project 2025 - 180 day playbook - Media Agencies (USAGM), Mora Namdar, p. 235-245
Mora Namdar worked as acting Secretary of State Consular affairs position at the State Department for 2 months (Dec 2020-Jan 2021) during the upheaval after the 2020 elections when many appointed positions resigned and were replaced by Trump loyalists willing to execute any Presidential directive regardless of legality or ethics. Prior to that she was a policy advisor at DOS under the Trump administration, and USAGM for 6 months, and VOA for 3 years. After law school and an MA in International Relations she worked for an oil company (Occidental) in government affairs.
After the Trump Administration she joined the American Foreign Policy Council, a right wing think tank (Newt Gingrich board member and Pirchner who was his foreign policy expert for a 2012 Presidential campaign is the founder) based on her 2 month experience as Acting Secretary of State Consular Affairs and 6 months at USAGM working on Iran politics and policy, international messaging and broadcasting, and serving on the State Department’s Iran Action Group as she is fluent in Farsi, the daughter of immigrant parents.
USAGM with a budget of $1B oversees VOA and OCB, as well as a grant process to other broadcasting organizations (Middle East Broadcasting, Radio Free Asia, Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty, Open Technology Fund, and recently added a Hungarian service that the author lambasts as targeting a Democratic ally which is debatable but since Orban is a consultant not surprising)
Under the Trump administration career personnel were fired for alleged security violations but later reinstated by the Biden Administration.
The alleged security violation was over a firewall  preventing oversight (propaganda) and insuring journalistic freedom. Namdar believes these broadcasting organizations should only broadcast pro-US policy as messaging (MAGA messaging???)
In a 2nd Trump administration the firewall would be removed to prevent alleged spying, and a revolving door to other federal agencies after security clearances are gained. 
Other recommendations include:
(1) reducing the budget by 30% (no doubt achieved by removing career staff and replacing them with inexperienced Trump loyalists like herself willing to engage in MAGA messaging).
(2) a cabinet role for USAGM as well as a National Security Council (NSC) role (talk about designing your dream job with so little experience)
(3) if USAGM isn’t part of NSC then it should go to Department of State (her 2nd career choice to be on a career path as Secretary of State?)
