Rep. Santos hires niece of billionaire Trump ambassador

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Aug. 24, 2023

Rep. George Santos' (R-N.Y.) new press secretary is the niece of Woody Johnson, billionaire Republican donor and former Trump ambassador to the United Kingdom.

Noelle Young worked as a production associate at Fox Business before joining Santos' office. This is her first job on the Hill.

Johnson & Johnson heir Woody Johnson married into Young's family in 2009. Johnson served as ambassador to the U.K. for most of Donald Trump's presidency and is a major donor to the Republican Party. He and his brother co-own the New York Jets football team. Suzanne Ircha Johnson, Woody's wife and Young's aunt by blood, is reportedly one of Melania Trump's closest friends.
