I don't think anyone has brought this story up.
Quote:Trump national security pick Monica Crowley plagiarized multiple sources in 2012 book

If you read the article, you'll see she's lifted other people's work in some 50 or so instances and many of these are substantial copies. No attribution or credit was given to those she plagiarized. She apparently passed it all off as work she'd done herself. The book had no end notes of bibliography (you usually want to avoid books without them if the book contains claims about facts and historical incidents).
This is a serious ethical failing. Not only is she taking credit for the work and words of others, she's doing it in a book which she's selling for her own financial gain which makes it arguably a much worse case than, for example, a university student doing it to get through a course or get a better mark.
But if you get caught doing this at a university, you're pretty certain to be expelled from that university. Many have been. Working reporters are usually fired for plagiarism too, and are certain to be fired for this many serious instances.
As I said, this is a matter of ethics and integrity. It's not just the theft but a matter of acting appropriately as a writer of a work of this sort. You ought to want to give your reader's access to the sources you use and make it easy for them to verify you have not altered the source's information/words.
