Jen Psaki, who was named to serve as President-elect Biden's White House press secretary, is facing fresh scrutiny over a photo that shows her wearing a Russian hat that bears the communist hammer-and-sickle logo. Psaki, who served in former President Obama's State Department, was gifted the pink shapka, or fur hat, by her then-counterpart, spokesperson Maria Zakharova, in Russia. A photo from 2014 shows Psaki wearing the hat while posing with then-Secretary of State John Kerry, who has been appointed to serve as Biden's "climate czar," and Zakharova. It also was a feature of the flag for the former Soviet Union, which spawned from Russia's communist revolution and engaged in decades of brinksmanship in a "cold war" with the U.S. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"Here’s Jen Psaki hugging Russia's Foreign Minister and Russia’s chief foreign affairs propagandist while wearing a pink hammer and sickle hat," tweeted Trump campaign Deputy Director of Communications Matt Wolking.
