On Sunday, a federal judge refused to issue an order to ban Donald Trump from the removal of three members of the Board of Directors of the Foundation for the public broadcasting, as the administration seeks to get rid of financing for public media stations, PBS and NPR.
In refusing to issue a preliminary judicial order, the American boycott judge, Randolph Moss, wrote that CPB failed to meet the threshold to calm Trump's effort to remove Tom Roch from Sony, as well as Laura Ross and Dian Kaplan.
Moss wrote, “Although the case provides important questions related to the company’s status and its relationship with the federal government, the court must leave these questions for another day. For current purposes and on the current registry, it is sufficient to conclude that the prosecutors have failed to offer to prove that there is damage in short.
Read the public broadcasting decision for the judge.
CPB is the non -profit company created by Congress to distribute money to public media, radio and television stations.
CPB filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration in April, after three members of the Board of Directors received notifications that they were removed. CPB cited the General Broadcasting Law, which prevents “any department, agency, official, or employee in the United States” from exercising “any direction, supervision or control of the company.”
PBS and NPR have filed lawsuits against the Trump administration regarding the CEO's order to restrict more funding for their networks.
More in the future.
