CPB Sues Trump Over Board Member Firings Amid Control Battle
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has filed a lawsuit against President Trump for his attempt to remove three board members, citing illegal authority.


Summary
Following President Trump's attempt to terminate three board members of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), citing illegal authority, the CPB has filed a lawsuit seeking a restraining order to block these firings. The board members argue that they cannot be removed by the President as the organization was designed to be insulated from governmental interference. The CPB, which distributes substantial funding to public broadcasters, faces ongoing threats to its autonomy amid Trump's wider campaign against public media. A court hearing is set to address the CPB's request.
