Trump's favorite channel Fox
Trump has been known for years as an avid viewer of Fox news channels. Last week, he chose Fox News presenter and former soldier Pete Hegseth for the post of Secretary of Defense.
The nomination raised questions because political observers in Washington questioned Hegseth's competence for the post. In addition, reports that Hegseth had been involved in sexual harassment investigations seven years ago cast doubt on his appointment.
Duffy has been one of the TV personalities representing Trump's positions on Fox News channels in recent years. His wife Rachel Campos-Duffy was Hegseth's co-host on a weekend Fox News program.
