KSU Grad First to Catch Melania's Trump Alleged Plagiarism
A self-described host, journalist and interior designer, Jarrett Hill has thrust himself into the national political spotlight.

A Kennesaw State University graduate has found himself in the middle of one of the biggest stories coming out of the Republican National Convention.
Jarrett Hill was the first person to note, via social media, a similarity between Melania Trump's speech on Monday night in Cleveland with a speech given by Michelle Obama in 2008:
