Morgan Ortagus - a high-level Trump administration official mulling a run for Congress in Tennessee - pledged to "Faithfully serve the Biden administration" in a goodbye email sent to State Department colleagues in an e-mail obtained exclusively by The National Pulse.
Ortagus, a spokesman for the State Department during the Trump administration, received a preemptive "Complete and total endorsement" from her former boss President Trump, in a move that has stunned the MAGA base.
Filmmaker and grassroots activist Robby Starbuck has been considered the frontrunner and favorite of Trump's base thus far in Tennessee's 5th Congressional district.
The leaked email follows intense scrutiny over Ortagus's past comments attacking Trump prior to joining his administration.
Ortagus, while working for a super PAC associated with Trump's primary opponent former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, said she "Fundamentally disagree[d]" with Trump's approach to foreign policy.
The news has caused friction inside President Trump's Make America Great Again base, with insiders pointing to Ortagus's recent meetings with Ivanka Trump as her father's rationale for the endorsement.
Mrs. Trump and her husband Jared Kushner were best known inside the Trump White House for promoting "Moderates" and "Never Trumpers" who ended up turning on the President, especially following the January 6th Capitol protest.
