Trump Sued Over Public Broadcasting Board Firings | JQJO

President Trump removed three CPB board members, prompting a lawsuit from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). The CPB argues that Trump lacks the authority to remove board members, citing federal law and Supreme Court precedent. A court hearing was held to consider a temporary restraining order. The CPB, which distributes over $500 million annually to public broadcasters, contends it's not a government entity. This action is part of Trump's broader attacks on public media, including attempts to reduce funding and influence its programming.
