Britt McHenry straciła pracę w Departamencie Stanu tego samego dnia, gdy otrzymała awans
Former Fox News journalist Britt McHenry lost her post at the US State Department on the same day she received a promotion, after a high-profile incident at an NBA game.

Britt McHenry lost her job at the US State Department on the same day she was promoted within it. The former Fox News journalist, who had joined the administration of Donald Trump only a few weeks earlier, was forced to resign after a widely reported incident during an NBA game.
The sequence of events, as reported, has become a notable example of rapid personnel turnover in the Trump administration. A promotion and a dismissal arriving within hours of each other is unusual even by the standards of a White House and federal agencies that have seen frequent changes in leadership and staff since the start of the presidential term.
The episode is the latest personnel setback surrounding the president. McHenry's brief tenure, which began only weeks before her resignation, ended abruptly after the incident at the basketball game drew public attention. The source material does not provide further detail on the nature of the incident or on the precise timing of her appointment and departure beyond the fact that both occurred on the same day.
For readers following the administration, the case underlines how quickly senior appointments can be reversed when conduct becomes a public issue. It also adds to a growing list of departures and reshuffles that have drawn scrutiny over the stability of the government's staffing.
