President-elect Donald Trump on Dec. 4 nominated Monica Crowley as chief of protocol—a State Department position that facilitates the visits of foreign leaders to the White House.
The position, which is an ambassador-level role, requires Senate confirmation.
The role consists of working on logistics such as foreign leaders staying at Blair House, which is across from the White House.
Ethan Rosenzweig currently holds the position.
Crowley, 56, served in the first Trump administration as assistant Treasury secretary for public affairs. She previously was a commentator on Fox News and an editor at The Washington Times.
Trump initially named her a deputy national security adviser in 2016 but she withdrew amid plagiarism allegations.
Cam Henderson was chief of protocol during the first Trump administration.
Henderson was present during the ceremonial signing of the Abraham Accords in 2020 as Israel normalized ties with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. Sudan and Morocco later joined the accords.
Henderson succeeded Sean Lawler, who resigned amid misconduct allegations.
