- Shortly after joining USAGM, Lake oversaw the removal of roughly 85 percent of Voice of America staff as part of the administration's workforce remaking .
- A federal court recently ruled Lake's tenure at USAGM was improper, finding she lacked Senate confirmation authority; the judge ordered reinstatement of staff placed on leave.
- Per the United States Constitution, ambassadorial nominations require Senate confirmation; Lake said she looks forward to "strengthen the partnership between our nations" if confirmed.
