Trump senior adviser Kari Lake is regrouping after U.S. judges blocked her from taking further actions against the Voice of America and Radi
Trump adviser Kari Lake and the U.S. Agency for Global Media aren't just defendants in five federal court battles.
They're on the defensive.
In two temporary – but consequential – decisions this week, federal judges dealt blows to Lake's drive to dismantle five government-funded international broadcasters that are overseen by USAGM.
On Friday, U.S. Judge J. Paul Oetken in Manhattan issued a temporary restraining order against Lake, the agency, and its acting chief, Victor Morales, saying they could take no additional steps to shutter the Voice of America, the oldest of the five networks. The agency has already indefinitely suspended Voice of America's full-time workforce and terminated all its contractual employees.
