Judge orders Voice of America be put back together again. What are the chances that will happen?
AI Summary
A federal judge has ordered the Voice of America (VOA) to restore its operations, which were significantly scaled back during the Trump administration. Judge Royce C. Lamberth ruled that Kari Lake, Trump's appointee to oversee the U.S. Agency for Global Media, lacked the authority to reduce VOA's operations. The VOA, established during World War II to provide news to countries without a free press, had been operating in 49 languages before the Trump administration, reaching an estimated 362 million people. The Trump administration argued that government-run news sources were examples of bloated government and sought more favorable reporting. The government has filed an appeal, and the White House maintains its commitment to improving efficiency at USAGM.
