Trump Names Barbara Thornhill Ambassador for Human Trafficking

buzzfeed.com —

Barbera Thornhill has been confirmed as President Trump's ambassador-at-large to combat human trafficking, and her appointment is drawing significant attention online. Thornhill has donated heavily to Republican causes, including $98,527 to the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee and $44,300 to RNC Team 100, and previously served as president of Los Angeles-based Impact Design. Her 2019 nomination as ambassador to Singapore was withdrawn after Joe Biden took office, and she claims to have worked with Mother Teresa in 1994, though an anti-trafficking group questioned her qualifications.
