A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore the Voice of America’s operations after large parts of the government-run broadcaster had effectively been shut down a year ago, now putting hundreds back to work. U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth reversed the administration’s decision to essentially sideline 1,042 of VOA’s 1,147 employees and shrink its operations to the “statutory minimum” required by Congress — moves that forced VOA to severely curtail its programming. The judge gave the U.S. Agency for Global Media a week to put together a plan for putting Voice of America on the air. Source: CBS News #Trump #VoiceofAmerica #VOA
