Darren Beattie, a former Trump administration speechwriter known for his controversial remarks, has been appointed as the new acting president of the US Institute of Peace (USIP) by its board. His appointment is drawing criticism and legal challenges, with many seeing it as another move in the administration’s strategy to dismantle the think tank.
The USIP, a congressionally funded entity focused on promoting global conflict resolution, has been at the center of a legal dispute since Trump’s efforts to shut it down. Beattie’s appointment occurs amid heightened tensions and restructuring efforts by the government, despite judicial interventions that have sided with the institute.
George Foote, former legal counsel for USIP, strongly opposes the appointment, labeling it as contrary to the organization’s core values and illegal based on prior court rulings. The legal contest continues as USIP navigates its new leadership under Beattie.
