Judge to Trump: Don't touch that dial
U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth has handed the embattled broadcasters at the U.S. Agency for Global Media a lifeline.
Yesterday Lamberth granted Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty's request for a temporary restraining order, thereby stopping the Trump admin from terminating the network's grant for the time being. Lamberth's order means RFE/RL is likely to succeed on the merits of its broader case – and that may bode well for Radio Free Asia and the other networks that are trying to stay on the air despite Trump's order. Here's my full story...
>> Reaction from RFE/RL CEO Steve Capus: Lamberth's "thoughtful and airtight ruling" is about preventing the Trump admin "from ignoring the will of Congress," and it "sends a strong message to our journalists around the world: Their mission as designed by Congress is a worthy and valuable one and should continue."
