President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he would pick Media Research Center founder L. Brent Bozell III — who wrote a letter on behalf of his son, a convicted Jan. 6 rioter — to run the U.S. Agency for Global Media.

"As Founder and President of the Media Research Center for 38 years, few understand the Global Media landscape in print, television, and online better than Brent," Trump said in an announcement on Truth Social. "He and his family have fought for the American principles of Liberty, Freedom, Equality, and Justice for generations, and he will ensure that message is heard by Freedom-loving people around the World."

Prosecutors had accused Bozell's son of multiple efforts to breach the Capitol, including smashing windows during the initial breach of the building. Prosecutors also said that Bozell made his way onto the Senate floor.

Bozell III founded the Media Research Center, a conservative watchdog group, in 1987, as well as the Parents Television and Media Council. The Media Research Center later founded CNSNews.

During his first term, Trump appointed the conservative filmmaker Michael Pack, a former associate of GOP strategist Steve Bannon, to lead the agency. During his tenure, Pack was accused of attempting to shape the agency into a mouthpiece for propaganda to promote Trump’s agenda.
