<p>President-elect <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> tapped Morgan Ortagus on Friday for Deputy Special Presidential Envoy for Middle East Peace.</p>
<p>&#8220;Early on Morgan fought me for three years, but hopefully has learned her lesson,&#8221; Trump wrote in a statement. &#8220;These things usually don’t work out, but she has strong Republican support, and I’m not doing this for me, I’m doing it for them. Let’s see what happens.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;She will hopefully be an asset to Steve, a great leader and talent, as we seek to bring calm and prosperity to a very troubled region,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;I expect great results, and soon!</p>
<p>Ortagus responded to the appointment by saying she was &#8220;honored&#8221; to serve in the role under Steve Witkoff.</p>
<p>&#8220;To be given the opportunity to once again represent my country and the Trump Administration in a crucial diplomatic role is dream come true,&#8221; she added. &#8220;The most important thing is that through President Trump, we bring peace and stability to a troubled region, and I&#8217;m grateful to play a small role in that endeavor.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ortagus served as an active U.S. Navy Reserve Intelligence Officer and previously served during Trump&#8217;s first term in office as the spokesperson for the U.S State Department under former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.</p>
<p>She previously worked at the Department of the Treasury as a financial intelligence analyst and as the Deputy U.S. Treasury Attaché to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.</p>
