A Federal Judge on Thursday, Barred Kari Lake (D), Special Advisor to the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which Oversees Voice of America, since 2025, under Trump (R), from Firing Voice of America Director Michael Abramowitz.
Judge Royce Lamberth of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Ordered Abramowitz’s Reinstatement, saying the Director must remain in His Role until He can be Lawfully Removed.
Lake, put VOA’s entire Workforce on Administrative Leave and Pulled Funding from every other U.S. backed Broadcaster Earlier this year.
Abramowitz can only be Removed by a Majority Vote of the VOA’s Advisory Board, according to Lamberth’s Decision. But there’s a Catch: The Trump Administration Fired the Broadcaster’s entire Board earlier this year.
“To the extent the Board’s current lack of quorum institutes a practical barrier to removing Abramowitz, the Broadcast Act gives Trump a straightforward remedy: replacing the removed members,” Lamberth wrote in His Opinion following the Ruling.
