Monica Crowley, a conservative radio host and Fox News analyst who was tapped by the Trump administration for a National Security Council post, departs Trump Tower in mid-December. (Jim Watson/AFP)Monica Crowley, recently appointed by President-elect Donald Trump to a key national security communications job, said Monday that she would relinquish the post amid multiple allegations of plagiarism. The publisher of a 2012 book by Crowley said last week that it will stop selling copies until she addresses allegations of plagiarism. Crowley was to have worked for national security adviser Michael T. Flynn, a retired Army lieutenant general. “The NSC will miss the opportunity to have Monica Crowley as part of our team,” Flynn said in a statement.
