The president told reporters on Air Force One that he’ll tap Moore to fill a seat on the Federal Reserve Board. The news came as Trump flies to Florida to meet with a number of Caribbean leaders and spend the weekend at Mar-a-Lago.

Moore is often the center of contentious debates on CNN over his support for the president, and his induction into the government would make him the latest cable news figure Trump has brought into his administration. Moore said he didn’t officially get the job offer when contacted recently about the reports of his nomination, but that looks like its about to change.

CNN’s Brian Stelter has announced that Moore is no longer part of the network:
